would anyone like to do a plein air session in Donegal during the first 2 weeks of August? maybe even two, in a couple of different locations? I was thinking maybe Marble Hill, Inishowen, or Glenveagh.
Hi, Anyone interested in a plein air session this coming weeks? Grianan aileach, Burt might be a nice location or Marble hill, or Glenveagh. 'Just trying to get out there without letting another year slip by.
Hi everyone, just a quick word to say that I will be giving an afternoon plein air tutorial at the Glebe House Gallery in Donegal on the 9th of July from 1pm to 4pm. I will post further details when they are available early next week.
Hi Patrick, I was away in Canada for a few weeks, and I'm back now and planning on doing some trips out. I am based in Ballybofey and I usually paint in the South Donegal / Finn Valley area. What is the best day / location for people?
Any day suits me, weather permitting. 'Enjoyed the demo at Glebe House Morgan, it was a lovely and informative day out. I think there is another free demo & workshop this Saturday 27th Aug with artist Cornelius Browne starting at 12 or 1pm. It's the last of the Summer, bring your paints/materials. For details of time/artist keep an eye on https://www.facebook.com/TheGlebeHouseAndGallery/
Since we all know the Glebe house I would suggest a painting trip there. I can make it on Saturday 3rd sept. There is a place before you get to the glebe with a view out over the lake and glen I would like to try and paint.
that sounds great Patrick, I know several places out near the Glebe that would be good. I can be there from 10;30 - 11am... I'll bring bug repellent :)
Hello Ive just joined up & am still trying to get the hang of it all. I live in Gortahork,Co. Donegal. I am a retired Art Teacher. I have not been a member of a group before so this is all new. Looking forward to getting started
Hello everyone. I think I've just joined the group - though I thought I had before but wasn't getting any messages. I live in Gortahork, have dabbled, more off than on, over the years so am delighted to find this group to spur me on. Great to meet like-minded people too.
Hello Morgan, Patrick and Moya, I joined the group a few weeks ago and am looking forward to meeting you all. I think I talked to you near the end of the Dungloe exhibition Moya.
Will we meet up in the car park at the glebe. Then decide on where we want to go. I know that I would like to stop before you get to the turn off for the glebe. there is a view over the lake . Looking forward to meeting you all on the 3rd sept. I am off to France in the morning for a few days.
Really enjoyed our paintout on Saturday, thanks everyone.
Looking forward to our next meeting at Ramelton.
I see there is a Drawing Day at Dunree Fort on Monday next 12 September 11am-2pm. Check it out on artlink.ie. If you haven't already visited Dunree it's worth a visit....an amazing location.....maybe see you there?
We were lucky with a sunny day on the pier in Ramelton. Morgan will add details for another day there around 28th, 29th. Keep an eye on Events page above.
hi everyone... just wondering which day would suit everyone the best before I post it on the events page... and is everyone still ok with Ramelton? By the way, I am 086 8922108
hi Geraldine, the 29th as in 2 days time... it suits me also but the weather is looking bad, Saturday is supposed to be a better day. Will I go ahead and put up the event for this coming Thursday?
sorry everyone, but for the last number of days I have not been able to post a comment on here or post an event on the events page. There was some sort of site error. I will be going over to Ramelton this morning for 10:30 11am and here is hoping for a bit of weather. My number is 086 8922108.
The site format had changed on my computer I put this down to the automatic up dates from windows, Site working fine now. Will be heading out shortly see you all over at Ramelton.
It was certainly an adventures day for me, but I enjoyed the painting. This area has plenty of potential for future visits. Happy Christmas and new year to you all. Will probably see you all next year, Happy painting.
