Hi Elaine. Thanks for the comment. It was freezing and we all raced through our painting on that day. Whereabouts in England did you go to paint last year? That looks like an Irish cottage on your painting. Nice if you can come for the festival some time. But if not, we paint out most of the year and you'd be very welcome along.
That was on the Great Saltee Island what a brilliant day! it was tropical. i would have stayed there overnight if it had been possible but apparentely you have to have permission. Glad you like the picture.I love your paintings of the horses great feel of movement.
Just finished a VERY detailed painting of 4 in hand so am painting a free type of subject, just 2 heavy horses close up.Not even going to 'finish' it!! ood fun
Hi Elaine
Thanks for those many nice comments on my paintings. I've been looking at your own work and see many similarities of scene selection, cropping, colours and brushwork! It's great work. John
Hi Elaine, I'm afraid the closest i get to a Georgia O'Keeffe is to be her uncle. It's great to have you on the site and hope you look us up when you get to Ireland

Hi Elaine,
Thank you, the Wexford painting was painted in acrylic technique, maybe that is why is so colorful, usualy I'm painting in oil technique which I prefer, but I see that you like oils as well :)
Hi Elaine, thanks for your comments.
I love the photo gallery of you paintings- lovely warm vibrant colours.
Really like the cottages and the ponies. Hope you will be on the Roundstone course this month.
Hi there! Will you be going to this years Art in the Open? I'm saving up to go again...its a great time and wonderful people that are involved. Let me know if you have any ?"s.
Thanks Elaine for your comments I had a look at your photos page Liked Young foal (very hard to catch that immediacy) Pastel painting usa, and OIl sketch New forrest PS Great studio space you have there! Toner
This comment was meant for you, Elaine - not for myself! Will get the hang of this eventually.
Thank you for looking at my pic, Elaine. To tell the truth it irritates me every time I see it. That gable is not right - must do something about it. I have been looking at your photos and am very impressed, I especially like your Cornwall paintings. I have always been attracted by roofscapes. Our local towns - Drogheda and Navan had some wonderful examples. Never got around to painting them and now 'progress' has happened and its too late - they're gone.
Hi Elaine...thanks for the encouragement and kind comments.....I do love painting on the beach best! A full Irish breakfast consists of everything...eggs, rashers, sausages, mushrooms, b&w pudding...the works!!! You sure wouldn't want to be eating one every morning!! and always tastes best after a night on the town!! lol!
Best wishes for your stay in Acadia N.P., Elaine.
Well done to get the gig and look forward to seeing your paintings on here before long. I hope there are still some leaves on the trees to paint after the hurricane.
A hurricane party???
No paper hats, then.
Hi Elaine. This particular trip is partly about promoting Art in the Open, as the TV cameras will be filming in Clonegal Village. Plans are going well. Look forward to meeting you in July along with many other of the painters you see on this site. All the best.
Welcome to Plein Eire. I'm a 'newbie' to plein air but I'm hooked. Have been out a few times now with SEPA. A lovely group of people. Very welcoming! Hope to meet up in Wexford
Hope you're well--I have been in and out of town a lot and am catching up--hadn't heard back from you, so hope you got my email about travel in Ireland. I had talked to a few over there and they mentioned trains crossing country, but felt if you were stopping a lot , car hire was best. What day are you getting there?
Last year I rented in Dublin and drove down--the one nearer in across the bridge from Wexford and they couldn't guarantee there would be a car, since it relied on drop off at that particular place
Aww Elaine...drinking the "good Stuff" while about to set out on your journey home :((....Well "here's to a fabulous Festival year, in meeting old friends and discovering new" Safe journey home, it was great to finally meet you, and chat in person. Keep the paintbrush swaying ..!!
Thank you! We all went out to Laytown, Co. Meath to paint plein eire style. Everyone else concentrated on the river banks etc., but I thought the structure of these would be a challenge. They are the seed heads of the summer thistle (I don't know the proper name for them). In summer they have purple tops on them. You don't see too many of them in Ireland, they are more common in England, so when I saw them I jumped at chance to paint them!
Hi Elaine.....where are you this year?? We ll miss you with both arms functional :) if you could play music with one...imagine what you d do with two !
All the best, and w e ll be thinking of you In between painting...painting...oh, and did I say painting:))
