I had a great time at Clonegal yesterday, thanks to everyone for being so friendly, its only the distance that will stop me from joining your group, as its a three and a half hours drive from west cork.  I hope to meet you all again at your August exhibition, regards  Jack.

Hi Annemarie,  Very Happy 2012 to you and all Creative people.  Im planning a workshop on the 25th 26th February, hence the no reply.  Hope to be at future paint outs though, dont despair if we are not there this time, we are still active and love your getting us together!!! The workshop is  in my usual town of Kinsale, however this time its not at Actons, they are refurbishing, so I have booked the Trident, their sister hotel. Keep up the energy!!!  Thank you, Barbara

Hi Anne Marie ,

 Cant make  Mizen but hope to go on the next one if the good weather returns - wasn't it just heaven !!

Hi Annemarie,

Sorry cant make it out to Mizen. Its time our schedules coincided so we can paint together agian.  We are far too busy.  Im doing some Kinsale scenes now for my Exhibition over the Kinsale Arts Festival. Will send an invitation folks.   Have a great time there, sorry to miss it.  I will however be painting at the Killarney Lakes this weekend, hope there is good light! 

Hi Annemarie, great to hear you are ready to Plein Eire again. Looking forward to seeing you on the first paint out. Is there any dates set yet?

Hi Annemarie

Just found out how to comment.

Looking forward to a new attempt to pain en plein eire!

Monica Jones & Norma Healy

March 16, 2014 from 11am to 3:30pm – Crosshaven Co.CorkSpring is in the air and Norma & I would love if some of you would come along to Crosshaven next Sunday morning. Crosshaven offers a variety of subject matter ranging from seascape to buildings.…Organized by Monica Jones & Norma Healy | Type:paint, out

Thank you Norma and Monica for posting this event . 

I hope to do likewise later in the week 

Sorry Monica and Norma, I wont be able to join you, would have loved that.  I will be in Amsterdam for the weekend, gathering photo references and inspiration from the Dutch masters.  

Great to hear things are getting going again ,  I often wonder if people just posting  what they are doing - like Monica and Norma have just done-  might be more effective in the end,  as our  group covers such a large  area?  This way you could have people painting in say West Kerry and East Cork  on the same day   which may suit some  better from the traveling point of view ? but just a suggestion !!  

We would love to  see painters in Kinsale anytime and can I suggest the Trident Hotel at the end of the pier as a good meeting point ?  Its got good space indoors as well as a  sheltered outdoor patio  if anyone wants to paint close to base. Actons Hotel  has been renovated but the bar/ meeting area is much smaller  than before so its not as easy for a group to meet there now.

Hi Monica & Norma,  If the weather is fine, I will meet you in Crosshaven, Jack.

Hello Monica and Norma,

Hope to join you next Sunday.   If the name was Cork/Kerry Plein Eire, it may be more meaningful to draw local people?

Elizabeth

Hi Guys

Looking foreward to Kerry

Sunday 29th check it out..

The grounds of University College Cork

Sun March 29, 2015 from 2pm to 6pm. Meet the Southwest Group  at 2 pm at the Glucksman gallery Cafe on Sunday week for our first one this year and maybe Inchydoney then..? Organized, sort of,( ! ) by Fiona Devlin, encouragement by  Norma Healy.

Great ! Look forward to hearing about that.

Fiona, I hope to make it on Sunday. I'd suggest that you advise visitors about access to the grounds and parking. Access to the "Lower Grounds" was closed off this weekend for tree maintenance, although no work was being done there. Tadhg

Are there any events planned for the summer? 

There does not seem to be any. I would be interested in an event. Are there more of you out there who would be interested?

Hi guys.

I have not posted in a while. Cork is a bit of a journey and it's difficult for me to get time away from the studio.

I suggest you take into your own hands and post a day on the group and see what happens.would love a day in the summer with you all. WILL Check THE CALENDAR and see what happens. Happy painting.

Hello from Kyrle. I was wondering if any of the  Plein Eire South West group were going to Art in the Open in Wexford, and if I could meet with them as I'm going to West Cork Skibbereen Ballydehob in mid August. Perhaps there are some members local to that area who might be interested in a meet up/paint out, Elizabeth Mansfield is one member who is also interested.

>Thanks in advance Kyrle
