Plein Eire Administrator says "Hello!"

Thank you for the welcome Plein Eire . At present I havent done any outdoor painting what so ever . I also havent ever painted in oils before . So I really look forward to doing both in the near futher. I will spend as much time as I can taking in as much info as possible from this great site ......cheers.

Thank you for the welcome. I am really looking forward to taking part in some of the plein air painting events and meeting members of the group and making new friends in the process.

Thanks! I'm a bit further north in East Lothian- it's very cold! I'm fairly new to plein air painting so hoping that joining here will encourage me!

Hi Everyone...I am all signed up for painting all week around your great area of Wexford. I have been waiting for years to paint in Ireland and really looking forward to painting with everyone! I spent the whole month of May last year painting in England with three artist friends. We rented cotttages in Mevagissey in Cornwall and Staithes in Yorkshire and had a really great time. I am from the Seattle, Washington area in the states and we have very similar wether and so am ready for some "liquid sunshine" as we call it, or whatever else we may have. I have been honored to do a couple of demos and am giving a three day workshop after all of the events and hoping some of you have saved a few pounds for any of that. I've been drawing and painting for over 65 years and teaching almost as long! I am hoping to bum or share rides to the outings so that we could paint earlier and or stay later if any of you are up to that. I may still be hobbling around a bit as I just had back surgery about a month ago and if I topple over...just kick me around until I get back up! A little Irish Pale Ale might also do the trick! Looking forward to seeing everyone and I know that we will have a grand time!!
