Will make a big effort this year to get out in different parts of the country side - good luck with group

Any north Derry outings let me know - please

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.

Thanks for the info Morgan, I'd like to attend. Awaiting details.

Glad to see this group still going. Are there any outings happening.

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 :)

Ok, sounds good. See you then.

that's great Moya, see you then

Good looking forward to it.

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.
