Being very much a self-taught artist - and also being a bit of a rebel rather than a conformist - goes against me a bit in the confidence stakes when painting with a group. Everyone else seems so…Read on...

We're all set for tomorrow's Paint-out in Kinvara.  The weather forecast seems ok, possibly a few showers.  Belinda Fair and I will host the Paint-out and we'll be at the pier in Kinvara at 10:30.  It's a lovely area for painters so we're hoping many of the group will be able to make it.

Dear Westies,

I recommend you post each paint-out separately under 'Events' if you want to open out your events to other members of Plein Eire. Otherwise, only existing members of this group will see it. This also gives me the opportunity to 'Feature' your event, raising the profile of your group and its activities. If this sounds like extra work, believe me, it is easy and takes only two minutes.

Thanks for that John. I plan to get to most of these. I'm hoping to see everyone in Kinvara on 26th.

Hi John.

Yes that's perfect for the Kinvara Paintout. It will actually be April 26th which is the Saturday.

John, sorry for the delay in replying.  How about the19th , if that doesn't suit, then the last Saturday, the 26th would also be OK.

Comment by Patricia Kavanagh on March 20, 2014 at 18:17
Ok John. Saturday 12th April is fine for me. Another local member Belinda Fair will host the paintout with me. If that weekend doesn't suit everyone we can do 26th instead.

Thanks Patricia - I'd not noticed that and I agree with you. Which would you prefer Sat 12 or 26th? or the Sundays on those weekends?  I won't be available on 26th weekend but that doesn't matter - you pick what suits you best.

Thanks Kieran - much appreciated

John
