Nothing planned, Dick. At the moment Sunday looks like it may be wet again. Saturday looks like being dry and mild. I'll go on Saturday if anyone else is interested.
I am new to the group but my tuppence worth is that I do like to know in advance where the Paint-out is. And scheduling for every second Sunday works great for me. The weather does not bother me as long as I have the right gear. Must buy an umbrella. :-). Unfortunately cannot make this weekend.
Congratulations Karen, good on ya, best of luck in the event, I haven't seen the list yet, but for the last few years it's been almost eighty per cent of the previous years entrants selected. I don't know if anyone else entered only myself and Jane but neither of us got into the event. There could be others from the rest of Ireland though or Europe. Sure that's the way the cookie crumbles, ya pays your money and takes your chance lol. Just like the lotto.
Congratulations to Karen, on being the first invited guest of 'Paint Annapolis 2015'. Places are in high demand at this prestigious event. Remember, Karen won this honour by applying for a place that is set aside for a Wexford artist. This special honour reflects the fact that Wexford and Annapolis are twinned 'sister cities'. We hope the organisers will keep the door ajar for years to come with keen interest from our side, so do apply next year. If you're not in, you can't win.
Karen will have to make her own way to carry the purple and gold proudly on our behalf in Maryland USA, so our thanks as well as congratulations are due. Sock it to 'em!
As usual Annie If I head that way Sunday it will be a bit further to hook or baginbun.Tinterm just does nothing for me. Grey grey and more grey, don't like the place at all. I did drop in to the place last Sunday mm my way to hook but no sign of any of ye. It was probably before any of ya got there, around 10.15 BUTit was well worth goin mm to hook cos it was spectacular with the storm.
What about meeting in Fethard and maybe painting in and around my favourite headland, Baginbun, if the weather is good. There's Neville's Pub in the village which always does good lunches as well as a few cafes, so toilet facilities nearby anyway. The headland is very similar to Hook Head, but more spectacular, if anything. But I'm happy to paint anywhere really.
I think weather is to be good alright yes I'd be up for that anyway if I amigetting out at least I know I will have lots to paint oh yeah there is a kind of event down at hook on sat and sun 25 26 th met a lady organising it ask Trish in spectrum she has t.D poster, I won't be here Or I would have gone.
Oh sorry , I of course, went on down to hook and while it was wild and rain for a good while, it did clear up long enough for me to do that big paintin!! As I said I did call into tinterm but no one around.
Sure drop in at some stage this Sunday too Louise if you're heading down that way. I might head down towards Baginbun or the Hook later in the day anyway, if the weather is good and I'm not too tired that is. But I'll get one in at Tintern first anyway - the woods should be full of wild garlic and maybe even some early bluebells.
Right Michael maybe ill have a look to see what it's like at tinterm first tomorrow, trying to get my gear ready, panels etc frames for Wednesday to bring and leave with Nik, going to bring three for oils andmmaybe just mounts and cellophane for water colour, cos they will look better in the church done out like that might bring one frame for w c just in case I do a nice one
Looks like a great day out there!!! Hook peninsula here I come. Might see some of ya down there will swing into tinterm on The way perhaps.it's to cloud up later so prob best to get goin early.
Hello. Anyone going out Plein Airing on Sunday (tomorrow) I'm thinking of going to Ferrycarrig Hotel, Estuary, Castle.. if nothing else has been arranged.
Just back from a day plein-airing down Fethard direction. But I'm up for it again and around the Ferrycarraig Hotel would really suit me tomorrow. The public car park beside the Hotel would be a good place to meet. What time? 11-00 am is our usual time, but the best light is often earlier this time of year. I'll probably go there around 10-00 am, maybe earlier.
Marja and Myself are thinking of Creignamanagh this coming Sunday. I checked that the Waterside restaurant is open all day. WE could meet there 10.30/11 am for coffee..... Weather is looking partly cloudy...
