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 Kieran, I failed to notice your message re Derryclare. That would be lovely. My personal preference is for the Sunday. Shall I add it to our diary? Pity you can't come today, the hot sun had me awake at sixth is morning and it's already very warm. I m bringing my swimming gear!

Hi Patricia, my diary is free but it is a huge drive from Westport. I dsay the 9th is better for me and I will try to make it, even make a weekend out of it .I have the impression the kinvara painters don't get these messages and need to be encouraged closer to the date. But so what if only 3 or 4 turn up, that's the typical number. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Ok, for those who are interested the RNLI Family Day in Kinvara is July 31st.  This is a great day out with loads of events to raise funds for the RNLI.  Cruinniu na mBad is from 19th to 21st August.  

So how would July 9th or 16th suit for Kinvara paint out?

Hi Noelle.  Yes, I'll be there on Sunday too.  Is it the castle hotel in Ballinahinch?  

I have an exhibition opening in the Russell Gallery on July 2nd so that won't suit for Kinvara paint out.  However I'll get back to you all with a date. There are a couple of events in Kinvara, RNLI Family Day and Cruinniu na mBad, I need to check the dates for these so we don't clash with them. 

Regards, Patricia

Hi All, I meant to say 2 more things.

  • Patricia would you like to set a date for Kinvara? How about July 2nd?
  • Bernadette- Apologies re Ballinahinch on Saturday, 3 had said Sunday suited them better. Could you still come?I hope to see you in Castlebar on the 18th June anyway.
  • John Dinan- A paint out in Roundstone in August?

regards,Noelle

Hi All, Ballinahinch on Sunday it is so. I'm afraid there is some football match on Saturday that a few want to watch. I have phoned the Hotel and said there'd be about 5 of us....a phenomenal turn out by more recent Plein Eire West standards.  Would you mind letting me know if you are coming so I can call them if numbers are to increase above 5...she was somewhat precise about numbers but I m sure more than 5 is just fine as long as I tell her.....and a lot of the scenery is actually just outside the hotel grounds. So far, Patsy, myself, and Des Downes are going...and you Patricia.?

As its a Sunday and the evenings are long, lets meet up for a coffee in the bar at noon? You can always get started  yourself earlier. Drinks of course around five/six  pm  again!

Hi. I won't make this weekend - I'm away for a few days. Kieran

Comment by Bernadette bradley on May 25, 2016 at 23:03

Want to go but so far from us maybe if it,s Saturday then we have Sun to get back to hold the fort!

Hi Noelle.

I can`t commit to dates as yet, but will try my best to make some of the paint-outs this Summer. They are always enjoyable. I`m on for Kinvara Patricia.
