Hi Noelle.  I hope to make it to Ballinahinch at the weekend.  How about another paint out in Kinvara?  In June or July? It's a lovely spot!  

Derryclare in September would be great Kieran!

Regards, Patricia

I just read the article on Westport's plain air event from Mayo News!  Well done Noelle and Patsy!

Here is an interesting and positive article from the Mayo News. Congratulations and success to Patsy Farrell and to Noelle Angley for organising Westport's first plein air event last year - hopefully, the first of many. Lets congratulate them.

`It was a great day.  Unusually I see promise in my 'masterpiece' and will be working on it (with the aid of photos - sunlight etc).  Roll on next Cong or nearby paintout! Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Do you send a group email for paint-outs, its a good way of ensuring eveyone knows, and have plenty of notice

Hi Noelle and John,

AS I texted you Noelle I have family commitments at the moment that prevent me from joining you, I hope you have a good day out  Regards.  Kieran
