Last weekend's Plein Air Festival

[John Dinan]

Just to say a huge thank you to all who worked so hard, and so professionally, to make the Wexford Plein Air Painting Festival such a great success. I was blown away by the warm welcome from everyone, by the great organisation, by the attention to detail - all in such a short space of time and with so many participants - it was simply brilliant.
How you put together that huge exhibition so quickly with lovely hanging arrangements and typed painting details was just remarkable.  And the exhibition looked so good, so fresh with the energy, enthusiasm and creativity of 100 artists - it lifted my spirits and I floated home in my car to the West! And it was a most enjoyable and memorable weekend,  making lots of new friends, and I would encourage any painter to put Wexford August Bank Holiday into their diary for 2011.
Thanks again to all the Committee members for making such a great event. John Dinan
