Plein Eire Boyne Valley

I wont know until later on in the week if I can make it. Good to hear from Patrick.

Well done Dee and, in anticipation, Patrick.  Hope to see you all there Saturday.

Hello All,

I've put the Summerhill, paint-out up as an event. Hope many of you can

make it and that the weather is kind to us. If anyone needs a little help

with directions I should be able to oblige.

Rock on Patrick.

Thanks for the inspiration, Patrick.  I hope to be there.  I would have been happier if you could have told us that Summerhill got its name from its climate.

The exhibition in Bru na Boinne is a terrific idea....well done Sally. It's a good idea to have the frames available....it will make for a better hanging.

Looking forward to seeing all the exhibits!

Looking forward to tomorrow's paint out, Loughcrew. Haven't figured out how to get there yet! Any pointers? Coming from Swords.

Hi Frank,

Coming from Swords, id head towards Ashbourne, then Navan, then Kells then head towards Oldcastle.I ve never been there either, so i could meet you in Kells if thats any good.???

Thanks Deirdre, Great to see you all again today at Loughcrew.  That was a really good day, bracing weather and dynamic light! Won't be able to make next weeks gig.

Thanks Deirdre , for organizing Saturday's paint out. We must be the toughest plein air painters in the country ! :)

Hi Folks, just put up an Event for us in Skerries in two weeks time (Sat -4th Feb) Hope you can make it out this way.

Hi , I'd love to get to some of your paint outs at some stage ...

Hi Paul! Skerries sounds great for Sat 4th!

Hope to get up to some of your paint outs during the summer.

Look forward to that Paul.

Sally, we missed you on Wed am. I won't be able to get to Baltray on Sat however at this stage I hope to make Skerries on Feb 4th all going well workwise etc. : )

Count me in paul for skerries.Looking forward to that.

Hi Alison/Sally, reserve a place for me for OPW Exhib. I cannot attend Skerries today, husband needs the car, but WILL DEFINATELY be there next week, wherever that is! I will give u money then.

Ok, see you next week think we will be going to Malahide. See you then.

Hi Folks, enjoyed day out yesterday .. have put together a little video of day. May encourage more people to join the group. Hope to make Malahide next week.

Looks like a good day despite the grey weather

well done Paul, looks very professional.Many thanks for hosting such a fantastic days paint out.Really enjoyed it.

Very impressive and professional the DVD. I'm afraid im out of action for the immediate future. Had a very bad fall at home on Sat (fell down stairs and hit radiator v hard), and have dislocated me thumb and broken my elbow. other injuries but these are minor.   Still keep me posted on dev/events, and will be bacl asap. Going to miss my painting -hoping to be back soon.

YOU ARE BRAVE SOULS.   I am caught up in indoor bowls matches at present. 3 this week. I feel I have missed out a lot.   Caroline, what a thing to happen to you.  It is so easy.

Hey, Paul just saw the very pro DVD. Thanks for organising the day.

Glad you liked the slide show Folks - Hope to see ye all in Malahide on Saturday :)

Hi Everybody !
The Virginia Open Air Art Event will take place around Virginia, Co. Cavan over 3 days on the June Bank Holiday Weekend 2012. 

The three-day programme will include demonstrations, and paint-outs, and free events to socialise and enjoy the town's hospitality each evening and of course Cash and Art prizes for the winners.

Looking forward to seeing you all there,

Jim Mc Partlin

Delighted to have heard about your Group from Dierdre and Sally, and your many interesting activities and paintouts.  Look forward very much to joining you for some painting, and ta in advance for having me.  

The enthusiasm of PEBV painters knows no bounds.  Exhibition 4.30 Thursday, paintout  Saturday (details below) and ANOTHER paintout on Bank Holiday Monday (details from Dee elsewhere).

Saturday 5th May.  We had planned to meet in Moran’s pub, Mornington. BUT it turns out that Morans do not open until 12 midday.  So may I suggest we each bring our own beverage and food parcel and we can have our ‘coffee’ al fresco.  Lets meet as planned in Mornington ‘village’ at 11 am, have our picnic and then off to paint.  Mornington is on the estuary of the Boyne and a couple of miles from the beach with its dunes.  There are some pretty buildings in Mornington and an old graveyard.

when you meet the first major junction (traffic lights) in Drogheda turn right following the sign to 'Docks'.

Immediately turn right again - DO NOT cross the bridge.  Keep south of the Boyne.

Continue on under the Viaduct and past FloGas on your left .  After a few miles you will come to a Y junction. Take the right fork, signposted to Star of the Sea Church and to Laytown.

 Morans is about the fifth building on the left - cunningly concealed behind some trees.  There is parking behind the pub.  See you there.

looking forward to it.See you  Sat.

Hi all, just want to say a big THANK YOU to those who organised the exhibition in Oldbridge House. Sally, Dee and Alison and anybody else whom I'm not aware of! It was great to see us out there and hopefully will bring more members for lovely paintouts! Best wishes for our futures! Rose

Thank you Norah for organising such a lovely painting day in Maynooth College Gardens.  I have joined the group and hope to be at future paint outs when i am in Co Meath.  I loved the day and the company.  Thanks Barbara

Well done Elizabeth, I see you there in the rogues gallery.  Patience and perseverance made a bishop of his reverence. Welcome.

See you guys this Saturday in Dollymount.

Enjoyed meeting folks in Dollymount today. Look forward to other sessions that are within reach for me.

Thanks guys for inviting me to The' Boyne Valley' group,I enjoyed the painting and great company on Dollymount strand.

Really regret having to have missed last Saturday's paintout.  Seems to have been a great day.

We had a great day last Saturday and thanks to those who made it out to Balrothery!

Take a look at the video uploaded in the video section a first time for me.  Now I know why it take a full afternoon of selecting and editing to get a final version ready to be published!

Don't know if I will be able to make it but would like to know where next sat venue is please

Well Pat if you can think of a venue please put up an event.  I will be around as I am not going to Wexford nor elsewhere.

Hi Norah

I have those dvds safe and sound. I just need to figure out how to get them back to you, maybe next paint out.

great day at Killeen Castle. What a beautiful place

Kileen Castle and Golf Course

Wish I could have joined you, Wow have only managed it once! AM I busy or WHAT?

It was a great day - that was the best fish and chips I've had in ages, oh and were we supposed to paint too ? The chat as always was great and looking forward to a return trip

An exceptionally memorable day.   Thanks Norah for that golden delicious crispily battered fresh  cod.
