Time and location to be posted in advance both on "Plein Eire Dublin" and "Events" pages on this Plein Eire site.

RSVP on 'Events' for notice to be sent to you in the event of any change in plans or check this Plein Eire Dublin Group page on the morning of a paint-out .

Nominate a time and location with reasonable painting prospects.
Identify a local cafe or hostelry for artists to meet in before and after.
Indicate if there is parking available nearby, and if its free or metered.
Post the suggestion to 'Events'and copy and paste the link to the Comment Wall below on this page.

Members may also propose paint-outs at other times as suits them and ask for other members who may be available to join them.

Comment by Karen Scannell on August 25, 2017 at 21:38: Geraldine Donohoe sent us this message today : Nancy Gillespie has asked me if you would kindly post on the Plein Air Sites that she would like to sincerely thank everyone from the Plein Air community who sent wonderful messages of condolence and support and all who were in attendance at Terence's Funeral Service. Nancy would also like a special thank you to Michael Keogh for organising the Paint Out in The National Stud in Terence's memory and to all who participated.

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on August 25, 2017 at 9:41: Please join me for a paint-out in Greystones Harbour, on 26th August 2017 at 11.30am - 4.00pm.

The weather should be good. Loos, lunch and parking available at the pub.

It'd be great to see a few new faces out!

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on July 18, 2017 at 9:44: Please join me at Bullock Harbour this Saturday, 22nd July, at 11.00am. The boats are all in the water now, there are great views towards Dunlaoghaire, and beautiful rock structures.

Parking shouldn't be a problem. There are loos. But no cafe, so bring your own liquids. I usually bring a flask of hot water and tea bags.

Plein Air Boyne Valley, Northsiders, Uncle Tom Cobly and all are welcome to join us!

Comment by Karen Scannell on July 5, 2017 at 19:42: Hi everyone. On the sad occasion of Terrence Gillespie's passing, Michael Keogh, suggested a paint out of remembrance, for Terry. Michael made arrangements for us at the National Stud, details below.hope you can make it

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on June 30, 2017 at 22:33: Seems that there are too many paint-outs tomorrow, so I've postponed the Dropping Well event.

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on June 29, 2017 at 10:30: Please join me this Saturday, 1st July, at 11.00am at the Dropping Well, Milltown Rd, Rathmines Great, Dublin 6.

There are waterfalls, wonderful trees drooping over the water, a rhino (!), and bridge views both of the bridge near the pub, and the other one a little further down, which is the oldest bridge on the river Liffey.

The weather should be a bit overcast, but not wet. Coffees and loos are available, and there is plenty of parking.

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on June 15, 2017 at 12:52: Should say Saturday 17th JUNE, (not May).

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on June 15, 2017 at 12:31: Please join me to painting in Festina Lente, Old Connaught Avenue, Bray, Co. Wicklow, A98 F702 on Saturday 17th May at 11.00am.

Comment by Norah Blount on May 13, 2017 at 8:54: Thanks James but didn't see the comment until 12. I have posted events regularly in the general area but not under any group. Places to park around Dublin can be difficult but if anyone has ideas I can host as I know people find posting an event difficult. Anyone can post an event and ask someone else to host - us that ok Tony as we often may have to cancel hosting but someone else is usually happy to be there. ,

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on May 13, 2017 at 8:40: I hope James had some company yesterday. Good to see some activity here after a long hiatus. Don't miss today's harbour paint-out, open to all artists, (Saturday 13th May) with members of Dublin Painters and Sketchers. Perhaps a few can set up a rota to propose a weekly paint-out in Dublin? There will also be a painting demonstration on ‘marine painting’ on Saturday 20th May. In addition, an artist at work on a painting, daily during the exhibition, painting critique sessions for amateur artists and exhibition guided tours. Whyte’s will be offering a painting valuation session during the club exhibition.
