I can tell from your profile photo - windy beach, biggish panel, studio palette and brushes stuck defiantly into the sand - that you are a true plein air commando. Plein Eire needs you!
Here is a link to our 'How d'you do?' page to help you find your way.
We have a number of members in Mayo - you can do a search in 'Members' to find them - in case you are interested in painting in company. Look forward to seeing your work and future posts.
Deirdre, Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about Desmond Turner. I learned a lot from him. I am heading for Achill for a few days in the next week or so.
Think you can get heated jackets etc - saw them advertised in one of those walking mags and agree about painting in winter - the bareness of winter trees which allows you to see more of the landscape and there is a lovely softness to the light
By the way, have you had the opportunity yet to paint out with any of your new Plein Eire buddies in the Mayo area? has there been anything organised near you this year or is it something we need to be working on for nest year? Whether or no, I'm glad to see it hasn't stopped you from getting out and about.
A friend. I'm delighted. And a wonderful painter friend at that. You paint en plain air. The paintings look quite large. Are they? Love the muted colour landscapes. Paint on!
Deirdre: Have a look at Roos Schuring (on right Home panel under Videos). Her style and, in particular, her early attention to interesting Dutch (could be Irish) stormy cloud composition, is not dissimilar to yours. She seems to paint Fast and Loose-always the best way en plein air. I love 7/18 and 13/18 on your gallery.
Would be delighted to accept.I enjoyed the paint out in Leenane,with the bit of fun and the lovely paintings, the cold did not matter. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Deirdre, it was a great day, tough going in the cold wind - but invigorating!
The midges around Killary must be hardy midges - and I heard the cuckoo last night.
I love your paintings - lovely juicy paint and no fussy detail. Look forward to next outing.

Actually that’s a good idea, a huge yellow bus might just save the painting!!!
Remember to text if you fancy painting out this weekend!I might be free sunday or monday.
I really enjoyed the day out too and the company was great!
