South East Plein Air

Very sad news. A true gentleman. May he Rest In Peace.

I am very sad to hear about Terence passing. He was so kind and full of wit and also a very good and talented artist.

Such sad news about Terence, a lovely man, taken too soon.

Geraldine just contacted us regarding Terry;s funeral arrangements :

Terrence's service in celebration of his life will be held in St Laserian's Cathedral, Old Leighlin, Co. Carlow. Wednesday 28th at 12pm. See Terry Gilespie on rip.ie for other details

No Flowers, donations if you wish to Medecins sans frontiers

I'm sorry to hear of Terences passing. Deepest condolences to all of you who knew him well. x

Paintout July 9th in memory of Terrence Gillespie. Suggested and arranged by Michael Keogh. Hope you can make it :

Its in the title, Dick.

Spoiled for Choice....

Pleasant day in Graiguenamanagh today. Spotted Michael Kehoe and Mairead Holohan among the crowds of bookworms. I intend to return tomorrow hoping for a little more sun than today. The forecast is clear until late afternoon when there may be a shower. Coffee 10am - 11.15am at the Duiske Inn and meet up there again in late afternoon if you have Graiguenamanagh paintings to show.

For those who prefer trees to narrow boats, join Jane Meyler for a paint-out at John F. Kennedy Park, New Ross for Heritage Week. See Jane's Facebook Page for further details.

....You could even do both!

Nice to be involved:

Town of Books was a well-run and fun event that dovetailed well with plein air painting.

Photo of "Exhibition" posted in blog.

Ballinkeele House would be a super place to paint, a variety of subjects to paint.

Sorry I won't make it, Sheila. Dick and Marja are manning a show, too. Have a great day's painting and hope you get some company.

Anyone planning to paint tomorrow?  Forecast looks good!

I was thinking I might Shelia, where did you have n mind?

Looks like curracloe Bettina and anyone else who wants to join us. First paint out of the year for me!

Curracloe Beach Shelia? I've a couple of things to do this morning but hopefully I'll get there.

Yes curracloe beach, let's say the surf shop part (as opposed to Ravenswood) so we all end up in the one place! Hope to see you!

What time are you planning on? Though I'm sure I'll find you either way

11.30 at the surf shack end of curracloe beach

Great ! Hope to get there 11.30

Great to get out yesterday with Jane, Karen, Bettina and Kate :). Any suggestions for next Weekend?

What about the Saltmills Shelia or Tintern direction?

Don't forget to post your paint-outs under 'Events' and add a photo from Google images. Its easy.

I could do Tintern..always a nice venue...

Tintern it is! There's a good bit of shelter too unless it's v wet

Sheila can't post paint-outs for the next couple of weeks and I'm not sure I can make them for the rest of this busy month. Anyone else who fancies posting a paint-out, please do so.

Town of Books festival, Graiguenamanagh. 26 August 2018

Thanks committee of Tagoat steam rally were wondering if some painters would come to paint at the event this year ,,they said it would be a good idea to bring any Painting you previously did at the event other years.

This year's Steam Rally in Tagoat takes place on Saturday 18th of August!!!

Will there be different classes of steam? Presumably there will be different trials depending on the steam. Can one just show up and casually let off steam? What about condensation in the marquees? Will there be a problem with mould?

No need to get steamed up about it.

 I've painted Tagoat Steam Rally before and it was quite good. There was a forge and farrier shoeing horses and a few vintage traction engines along with stalls, a couple of rides and a dog show. By all means, post an event, Louise. Let's share the load.

And steam. Don't forget the steam, Tony.

I'm steamed. I already have an engagement for 18 August. I won't be able to go. But thanks for allowing me to let off some steam. Phew!

Admin,, will you put it up please ( the steam rally) I'm no use at it can't remember how!!!! Thanks in advance!!! 

Some of the usual suspects for posting a SEPA paint-out will be attending a workshop this weekend but the weather forecast is good for Sunday if anyone else would like to pick up the baton?
