Being very much a self-taught artist - and also being a bit of a rebel rather than a conformist - goes against me a bit in the confidence stakes when painting with a group. Everyone else seems so…Read on...

Hi John. Regarding Derryclare, it can be Sat May 10th or Sun May 11th, whichever would suit best. Kieran
Hi John. Just want to mention that April 19 is Holy Saturday - Bank Holiday weekend. I'm wondering if a paint-out on that day would suit people. Patricia
Thanks Norah
John, sat June 7th and probably Roundstone I will give plenty of notice if it is not Roundstone as I will post event a few weeks before date and email all
Hi All Paintout Volunteers
Based on your offers/times available - I've drawn up this tentative programme for 2014 - let me know if it suits - you can pick Saturday or Sunday - maybe a choice of days in the programme might appeal to more of our members. When I get your responses I'll publish a final programme
Date Location Leader Comment
Sat April 19th Kinvara Patricia Lots of views, pubs/toilets nearby
Sat May 10th Derryclare Kieran Stunning scenery, access to toilets
Jun date tbc Location tbc Norah To suit Norah's schedule
July date tbc Cong Helen Reliable venue, facilities nearby
Sat 23rd Aug Roundstone John D Great village for painting, facilities
Sept date tbc Delphi/Leenane Noelle Another two great possible locations
If those leaders above with dates/locations tbc - to be confirmed - could decide on definite locations and dates that suit THEM, please let me know and I'll then publish a firm programme. If anyone has any problems with the above, for any reason, please let me know.
As leader, you just have to show up at the venue on time that day. Generally we meet at 10.45 for an 11.00 start; lunch together is optional, but we encourage people to meet at 4.30 to have a coffee/chat and maybe have a look at the paintings.
Look forward to hearing from the 'volunteers'. John
Thanks Noelle I'll be get back next week to everyone who responded. Thanks for your support - as usual. Hope all well and that you're painting a bit. John
Hi John, I'll be happy to host a paint out. Only 2 turned up to Delphi, but its worth another go, there is a lovely coffee shop and its madly scenic. Alternatively leenane or Louisburgh. Also, I will host a Westport Arts Fetival paint out in westport in earlyOctober - date to be confirmed .
I will be away 26july-10August and last week end in June.
regards,
noelle
Thanks Helen - good to hear from you, and will get back to you. John
Morning John, I would be happy to lead the Cong meeting after June - farming commitments make be unreliable earlier.
Thanks Patricia and Norah - that's the spirit I was hoping for! Let's wait to see if there's any more help forthcoming and I'll get back to everyone on this. Thanks again.
