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...

Hi John. Regarding Derryclare, it can be Sat May 10th or Sun May 11th, whichever would suit best. Kieran

Hi John.  Just want to mention that April 19 is Holy Saturday - Bank Holiday weekend.  I'm wondering if a paint-out on that day would suit people.   Patricia

Hi All Paintout Volunteers

Based on your offers/times available - I've drawn up this tentative programme for 2014 - let me know if it suits - you can pick Saturday or Sunday - maybe a choice of days in the programme might appeal to more of our members.  When I get your responses I'll publish a final programme

Date               Location         Leader         Comment  

Sat April 19th   Kinvara         Patricia      Lots of views, pubs/toilets nearby

Sat May 10th   Derryclare     Kieran      Stunning scenery, access to toilets

Jun date tbc     Location tbc  Norah       To suit Norah's schedule

July date tbc    Cong            Helen        Reliable venue, facilities nearby

Sat 23rd Aug   Roundstone   John D     Great village for painting, facilities

Sept date tbc  Delphi/Leenane  Noelle   Another two great possible locations

If those leaders above with dates/locations tbc - to be confirmed -  could decide on definite locations and dates that suit THEM, please let me know and I'll then publish a firm programme.  If anyone has any problems with the above, for any reason, please let me know.

As leader, you just have to show up at the venue on time that day. Generally we meet at 10.45 for an 11.00 start; lunch together is optional, but we encourage people to meet at 4.30 to have a coffee/chat and maybe have a look at the paintings.

Look forward to hearing from the 'volunteers'.    John

Hi John, I'll be happy to host a paint out. Only 2 turned up to Delphi, but its worth another go, there is a lovely coffee shop and its madly scenic. Alternatively  leenane or Louisburgh. Also, I will host a Westport Arts Fetival paint out in westport in earlyOctober - date to be confirmed .

I will be away 26july-10August and last week end in June.

regards,

noelle

Morning John, I would be happy to lead the Cong meeting after June - farming commitments make be unreliable earlier.

Comment by John Dinan on March 14, 2014 at 8:54

Thanks Patricia and Norah - that's the spirit I was hoping for!  Let's wait to see if there's any more help forthcoming and I'll get back to everyone on this. Thanks again.
