Tony--Thanks so muck for all your help and support in Ireland--was like meeting an old friend. Nice painting at the close? sp. Too bad we didn't get to paint together more. And-----when you send back the paintings, could you send them by certified mail---that way I can pick them up and walk them through customs--mark them as gifts not commercial--I'll reimburse you.
Hey Tony---how's it going with you---sloggin away at the Gallery or painting more often--I know you all went out to--Screen I think--with the hay bales. I do have a question for you, o web site guru---I have tried to post two paintings on the events page--Karen thought that might be a good place to post the challenge--but it won't take--not sure quite how to move photos there--maybe it can't be done. Any thoughts?
..I think one actually got a heart attack as I was carefully picking it off some paint.....died , right there on my finger nail....Tony, set up some counselling for distressed painters with death on their fingernails!! :-(
Ha, ha! I doubt there will be any paper hats! Come to think of it, maybe no hats of any kind! I hope there are still leave too. They say the waves get REALLY BIG here, as where I am is on the Schoodic Pennisula, sticking out into the Atlantic. Should be interesting!
Hi Tony,
To get to my place. From Enniscorthy take N80 Carlow. Before Bunclody turn RIGHT at Slaney Foods into Clohamon Village. Turn LEFT and then LEFT at Y. Keep on straight Passing Bunclody Polo Club. 4 New Build Houses, Hollywell House and Clohamon House. Our entrance is the next on the LEFT it is just a 'Hole in the Hedge' Almost opposite on the RIGHT is Arran House.
Come down the lane (Drive Slowly) Right at the bottom of the lane keep on past Farm Buildings keep straight to House. If quite a few turn up they will have to park some of the cars down at the yard.
I have a large garden with pond. views of Mt Leinster, Possible to paint in the top hill field big panoramic view. From Clohamon village we are 1mile Lots to paint in Clohamon as well. Pub open on Sunday from 1 30 they are willing to do sandwiches if booked in advance. Otherwise bring picnic. I will provide tea & coffee.
See you next Sunday 12th.
Maria.
Tony-Have you sent paintings, yet--really only wondering about the watercolor that will be given to the mayor's office--I have spoken with Paint Annapolis and they seem more that willing to do this. I told them to hold off on actually dragging the mayor there until I was sure it would be here in time.
Hi Tony.
Thank you for your kind words :) I'm still trying to learn the basics, so don't expect too much from me, please :) but I'll post my Cahore-painting soon.
Can you speak Hungarian? :)
Regards from Hungary
Annabella
Oops - I accidentally clicked on 'add comment' :)
Yes, Hungarian is difficult to learn, also for Hungarians, I think :) The Hungarian greeting was very kind of you :)
Best wishes,
Annabella
Hey tony--hope all is going well and you're getting some fine painting going on. And---I couldn't open the image of framed painting, could you resend the image you are giving to the mayor
Hey tony
I have but is there been watching the paintings flash across the screen at the top and don't always know who they belong to ----I know---another duty----but is there a way to identify them---some do sign
I'll get onto Plein Eire website and put up a posting re last Sat's paint
out to Grand Canal Basin - I think we'd about 6 - down from the almost 20
from Farmleigh - but then perhaps some had put their nose out the door and
decided with the forecast that it wasnt worth it - and it wasnt! I thought
we'd escape the showers forcast (human nature tends to the optimistic -
fact!) but we didnt and it only got worse as the day progressed. (how do you
cope with bad forcasts? I've concluded that one had just got to ride them
out - go prepared with umbrellas etc - but cancelling within the last 12
hours due to a certain bad forcast might be difficult - to contact people
via mobiles etc - when there is no definitive list of attendees anyway -
tho' perhaps a warning in the Event on the website to check it 12 hours
beforehand might work?). Anyway next one is set for 12th Lock on the Royal
Canal at Castleknock for the first Sat in Nov.
I was wrecked last weekend and into this week after attending the RHA
marathon the week before - never experienced that type of exhaustion
before - usually all it takes is a night's sleep, or at most, a day's rest,
to get back in the saddle.
Yes I'd be interested in going to Roundstone in June too.
Tony, Re Rha Marathon - it was very poorly attended at 9 out of a capacity of praps 24 (the ones in the springtime were full); I'd say if you wanted to attend some of the one in Oct & Nov they'd now take partial bookings (something they told me they'd like not to earlier); I like to do the later half of the week as the poses are longer and one can chance a painting.
Hi Tony
re Roundstone
I was there in July for the regatta - it lashed rain the whole day which was such a shame as usually there is great craic on the old quay . Everyone stayed in the pubs.The next day was calm, dry but cloudy with all the hookers tied up inthe harbour.
Tony--Things are going well with us- I'm out painting or working with a couple of galleries( I do installations and organize exhibition year). But you're right, people ;and communities do pull back when things are tight. Having said that, I did just compete in Va . and took a juror's choice and sold 3 paintings, so I can't harp too much right now.
The exhibition is tomorrow in the evening, and I had already planned to be at a paint out during the day, so it could be a bit dicey, time-wise. I'll send the notice through the Pig yard Gallery site and you can decide how to use it, if at all.
About 80 percent of the work is those small pieces I did while there--so thanks again--the gift that keeps on giving.
Our mayor has been out trying not to default on city loans-while keeping the city in the same condition it has enjoyed--I have been back and forth with his rep, and hope to resolve it soon----and there will be a photo op--as soon as it happens, I will send image.
Now get out there and enjoy this extended nice weather you seem to be having. Did you get everything framed for the show--sounds like you are the go to guy--which is good.
David
Tony, Yeah, coastal north county Dublin is my usual stomping ground - didnt want to drag the Plein Eire Dubliners too far from familair territory too early tho' they seem to want to stay central and near some shelter for the winter months!
Best

Tony--hope your Christmas was all that you were hoping were hoping for, and your year starts out fine--I somehow missed the time thing a wee bit--but you might still be up
Thanks Tony, Keep up the good work. My kids and I really had fun watching Shaun the Sheep painting plein air last night. I posted it on our site and a lot have already been watching. Great fun when it is too cold to go out.
Hello Tony,.....even more lovely... thanks. I'm considering to join 'Art in the open' this year too, together with another painter-friend. But first I've to concentrate on the organisation here, I'll let you know in time. Only now I got me a glimp of your work....congratulations, very nice peaces ! If this is mostly about Wexford,....... I think my decision is mostly made to come this year. We'll have more contact,
Tony---actually a nice little paint out on the Potomac River--Artist Choice award--not a really large event---not a black tie.--------How are things there with you--heard the weather was warming nicely, so all should be out and beatin on those canvases. by the way--when I sent those pics to you waaaay back, did they finally come through, and by which email.
Sounds like a nice opportunity to get the word out. I'm looking forward to coming, looking at Irish travel books, etc. Right now I am figuring out the time after AITO.
thank you, lovely spot quit close to me, that I never thought of before,,, just goes to show. I got a gift of Alvaro Castagnet watercolor brushers and oh my god the difference is amazing....
Tony--congrats on the big win---and the video--was that the painting you won with?
Is this the first year for it--seem I saw it last year, but maybe just an ad. for it. Is it as international as Art in the Open, which I have been promoting this year--some seeded interested.
Am in Dun Laoghaire - just wondering if you could put me in touch with one or two members of the Dublin Plein Eire group? Hope to get out painting in a day or two once I'm over jetlag and the weather improves.
Tony--David Diaz here, making plans for the paint out---hope all is well with you and you're not just working hard with your framing and gallery--get out there in the sun.
Would it be inconvenient to send my supplies to your gallery again--and if OK could you send the exact address again--it's apparently part of some clutter pile of mine.
Mostly 12"@ 12". Paints took little time to get used to. Able to build a painting in a different way. Probably suits my choppy style. However there is none of that tactile pleasure from oil paints. I think it frees the mind to concentrate on the subject matter .Would I use them again?
Hope its not too early for life painting notices (but what a summer!), but I just posted an event for Aug 19 by mistake, the next posting is is for Aug 27/28 and is the correct one - can you delete the earlier, mistaken one?
Hi Tony I'm back from hols will send you re easels tomorrow. On another matter, I'm running a workshop this weekend, a participant Carole Cullen is a member of Pleineire but is asked to sign in each time, but the window won't link succesfully - I've seen it happen. She has tried it in Dublin on her computer and in Cross on her IPad, both do the same thing. I'm not asked to join in this way when I access www.pleineire.ning.com - can you help her, she's very keen to be actively involved. her email address is carolebudd@gmail.com - you could email her directly if you like. John
Hi Tony, thanks for the warm welcome. It's pretty chilly here too as I live at a height of 1,500m. It was -5º last night and max 5º today and snow above the village. But it all looks very pretty with the sun shining.
Thanks Tony.....not good to leave it too late. Pressure! Would never have gone into that soggy garden only for the Challenge. Am grateful for that....even those of us who are painting for a long time -we need a push.So out you go...............!
HI tony, Jane meyler told me you have attended the RHA life drawing. I myself am considering attending and want to know if their setup is any good there.
I will try not to totally disappear! I like your painting style - very fresh and impressionistic. It's amazing to me that you all paint in winter when it is so cold. This talk of gloves with the finger tips cut off...and I think twice before going out to paint in "sub-sixty" weather.
Tony - just checking back to see if you got my email about staying in Wexford. I already applied and was looking for an end date so I could see about adding on a couple more days at the end--or beginning. Hope all is well. I'll be seeing your Mayor and a few others in Annapolis next week.
I thought we were friends already on Plein Eire. Does this mean that after all this time of being nice to you it was not necessary? If only I had known! Well I suppose its a bit late now so I better just carry on as before!
