What does an Artist gain from working " En Plein Air", that working in a studio doesn't achieve? I asked this question before painting outdoors, and after time, began to realize the wealth of information I had been turning my back on.

It was great to see everyone able to paint in the comfort of a…

We had the first promise of Summer at Rosslare Strand Bank Holiday Monday SEPA Paintout.

Hi karen thanks for the welcome! I'm very glad I've found this website, greetings Sonja
Wish I could be there. We just had our daughter's wedding, and before that a big trip out to Wyoming to visit our other daughter. All the excitement I could handle this summer! But I certainly am thinking about everyone. Sounds like great workshops going on this year, and all the fun, and music!! I had SO much fun playing music with that group, it was one of the many, many highlights of last summer's AITO. I'll be watching for pictures of this year. Have fun!!
thanks Karen, Looking forward to paint out next sunday. I am bringing my sister Marie Chantal. She is quite a good artist.
