Hi Margaret,
thanks for the invite. Ning is new to me but looks and works great. I'll put a few images & info up in the next few days. Hoping to get to the Wexford Plein Air weekend this year. Padraig
Thank you Margaret. I have signed up to the Keith Wilson workshop in Borris House. An antidote to winter cabin fever, cannot wait to get out.
Also doing 3 workshops in July in Newtownbarry House. Carl Johnson and Judy Koon became friends when we were all painting together in Umbria in 2007.
Thanks Margaret,
Sometimes the work Thats done fast turns out better than the slower, labored pieces..I was in a hurry that day, and really rushed it....maybe I need to start drinking coffee???? Hope all is well with you
No, I think that's miles better - its even nicer now.
Occasionally, the auto facility can seem to lack a bit of subtlety but 9 times out of 10 its the business. My camera also has a couple of switches and f-stop whatchamacallits which I now ignore as the simplicity setting invariably takes a better shot than I do.
Trust the technology!
The painting turned out great anyway, Margaret, so it was worth getting wet for! Neither of my two paintings are finished yet! I may work on one or both of them a little more when I get time probably next week - doing a week long life drawing workshop in Bunclody this week - shattered already and only one day gone!
Sorry for not getting back sooner re paint out today or saturday. I can't make either day except a quick sketch somewhere close for challenge.
Your challenge paintings are great.
Hi Margaret. Not sure if I can make it yet.I might have to stick around at home to finish that job ...I'll know better on Thursday. Hope you've given yourself a good rest.
Hi Margaret, Great to see you last night...Do you know there's a website also for Life drawing?? Fiona + Paddy set it up.. Lifedrawing.ie..You should become a member of that also..K.
Hi Margaret I see you're still producing great paintings! Yes I think it would be a great idea to arrange an East meets West paint out - Karen Scannell suggested the same thing a couple of days ago maybe do an overnight somewhere as an option what with all the travel involved? Maybe near the Shannon? Just my first thoughts - but open to all ideas. Let's see how the idea evolves and welcome suggestions from others. Looking forward to Wexford. John
Hi Margarert, I had to edit John Dinan's Event: "Six Step Approach to Plein Air Painting". I hit a button that deleted all RSVP's by mistake. Would you mind reserving your place again? thanks, Karen
Hi Margaret, Thanks for the comment welcoming me to Plein Eire site and re paintings uploaded. I have recovered and have learned that its not only the weather that is sunny in SE but also the people. Tom
Hi Margaret, thanks very much for the welcome. Used to love visiting the Newpark hotel during Arts week to see all the best artists. See you soon in the great outdoors.
Congrats Margaret on the Award of the Presidents prize at the Watercolour society's Annual show in Dunlaoghaire. I hope to get back for another view.At least its on until the 16th October.
