What are the dates for the 2011 Art in the Open festival? I seem to remember that some things went on before, or after it. What would be a good time to arrive? Thank you!

Thank you! We all went out to Laytown, Co. Meath to paint plein eire style. Everyone else concentrated on the river banks etc., but I thought the structure of these would be a challenge. They are the seed heads of the summer thistle (I don't know the proper name for them). In summer they have purple tops on them. You don't see too many of them in Ireland, they are more common in England, so when I saw them I jumped at chance to paint them!

Weather is starting to change here now, with the chill of winter in the air. It's a beautiful time of year though...
