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...

etc. Would love to see you there, about noon?
Comment if coming,
Hi.
I only managed to make Kinvara this year, as the other dates didn`t suit. Its a great day out though. Plenty of creativity, a great opportunity to meet like-minded people who are all willing to share ideas and experiences. There is certainly no sense of competition, regardless of the experience levels of everyone I have met. I intend to do my best to make it to more events next year. For those who haven`t made it to any of the days out yet, give it a go. It`s most enjoyable :-)
I have missed all of the paint outs this year......many reasons.
An evening paint out might get the adrenalin going for some people. On the few that I have been on I felt we were packing up when the light was getting interesting Would a 4.30-9pm session work I wonder.I appreciate the planning both John and Noelle do......and yes I will make Westport again this year.
Hi Noelle I'm so sorry you were alone today - and such a lovely day. I just couldn't make it, as I texted you, but I share your frustration with the lack of attendance by the vast majority of the 'members' of the group. I'll put my thinking cap on, but really the people who should be suggesting changes are those who don't show up. Can we hear suggestions for next year from from any of you?
Sorry Noelle, I can't make it. Hopefully next year will be less hectic, or I will end up the home for the lost and bewildered! Have a great day.
Best wishes Helen
Noelle, hope to see you next Saturday.
