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 Noelle and the rest of the group.  I can't go ahead with the paint out in Kinvara on July 9th unfortunately.  My husband had emergency surgery last Tuesday and will probably be still in hospital for the rest of the week.  I'm sorry about cancelling and will arrange another day later in the season.  Patricia

Hi Belinda, I am now sorry to say I cannot make the weekend of the 9th. I am doing a painting course in Carrick on Shannon. Kinvara is actually almost a 2 hour drive from Westport....the way I drive.  However there are lots of plein eire members down that way. A lot of people attended to Kinvara meeting I attended some years back.

Sounds like a nice get-together anyway Noelle.  The weather is a problem a lot of the time isn't it!

I am planning to host a day in Kinvara on Saturday July 9th along with Plein Eire member Belinda Fair.  I will confirm this nearer to the date.

I'd say the coffee shop was the better option. ;-(

11turned up and all painted around the green until we were all rained off. Needless to say Ray, Peter, Des, John, and Stephen wanted to see the match and us ladies...well the coffee shop beckoned. Then a few of us met for a pint later...a not overly productive but very sociable day! John will be hosting a Cong outing !

Hi all, a late reminder I know....the Linenhall art centre paint out tomorrow in castlebar. Meet at the Linenhall cafe...ask a local for directions in the town centre... And then paint at the 'Green' near the courthouse. Call me if you need any help. There ll be an exhibition after this one in the LInenhall, should the turnout be good. I know there are TWO matches on, but ART is much much more important. ART lasts forever, matches come and go.
