I did take a few photos today.  The day started out cloudy, chilly and a little bit breezy.  By lunch time we were all pretty cold, so came in our house, had some soup, hot tea, and warmed up.  There were only four of us, but that was ok.  After lunch, the sun came out and was a gorgeous fall afternoon.  I used my pastels today.  One of my students came, and was so excited to paint outdoors.  A bunch of other people who couldn't come today gave me lots of ideas of places to paint that I didn't know about.

Now...if we can convince some of you all to come over here, and paint with us, that would be great!

Karen, Karen, Karen----the last paint out of 2011--where's that Irish fortitude . But I do like hoisting a glass to the year---sorry I'll miss it---hate to miss endings and beginnings.

Karen! your paintings are really rich.I like your pallettes and the smooth feeling in them...You are creating joy!! Keep it up! 

Thanks Karen....The Challenge is great. Would I face the soggy garden without it....NO....Squishy soil...etc....but its great. You folks seem to be out every weekend in the southeast. Great enthusiasm.

   HELP!!!!

Hi Karen,

I see that you love to capture the light in your awesome oils. which reminds me that we are having a great weather here in Portugal, cold, but with lots of sun. I need to go out and paint! :)

Hi Karen,

I intended coming to Curracloe today, but a tummy-bug decided otherwise! Typical! I hope you all had a lovely day. Looking forward to the next one.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to ya

Aye--and didn't I paint late into the afternoon---painting in down town, amid those a wearin of the green--I'll post

Thanks Karen, only got Internet in February!! Looking forward to joining the Paint Outs. Am in Cappoquin doing Life Drawing for 3 days this week-end but hope to paint outdoors before too long. I will sing up for the SEPA as soon as I can figure out how to do it!:) Stasia.

Thanks for all your help Karen :0

Thanks Karen.  Lovely to meet and be welcomed by you and the others.  Appreciated the hot coffee and shelter, Paddy.  Hope to get to future events and, wind permitting,  even be able to paint!  

Hi Karen and thanks for the welcome! I'll be figuring out how to use this over the next couple of weeks.. So glad to join the group!

Thanks Karen. One for the SEPA.

Hi Karen

I thought we were friends already, I guess its official now! Look forward to seeing you soon.

Tom

Hi Karen lovely to meet you and thank you for the nice welcome. glad you enjoyed the strawberrys.

Hi Karen, Just back from a week away, hence the delay. Like your boat painting - I struggled a bit this week on a couple of similar paintings, mainly lack of time (as family had to come first!) and getting soaked one day too!

Hi Karen, Of course you are right about the value of every painting... just wish I could get more that I am happy with! Plenty of subjects as you say, but not the weather at the moment... but then you would know about that in Ireland too!

thanks Karen, Looking forward to paint out next sunday. I am bringing my sister Marie Chantal. She is quite a good artist.

Wish I could be there.  We just had our daughter's wedding, and before that a big trip out to Wyoming to visit our other daughter.  All the excitement I could handle this summer!  But I certainly am thinking about everyone.  Sounds like great workshops going on this year, and all the fun, and music!!  I had SO much fun playing music with that group, it was one of the many, many highlights of last summer's AITO.  I'll be watching for pictures of this year.  Have fun!!

Hi karen thanks for the welcome! I'm very glad I've found this website, greetings Sonja

Thanks, Karen!!!

Hi Karen..great to have you as a Plein Aire friend! Ned

Karen please can you tell me how to Join the Dublin Pleion Air Group.  I am very keen to go ahead now I have some free weekends and paint outside.  Many thanks,  Carole

Hi Karen,I must have got the wrong castle, large black gates on left hand side after turn to beach,saw no one there but have started painting anyways so the day hasn't been wasted

Great location Karen, really enjoyed the day out and thanks to Rosanna and the De Burghs for letting us paint in such a wonderful setting, would love to do a return visit in the new year to finish the painting.

Hi Karen, so much poetry in your paintings. Love them all :)

Great to see one of our Irish Painters on the TV...best wishes

Pat

These are very mice works, Karen! Will you be at AITO. Hope to meet you!! :-)

So excited to meet you at AITO and yes I look forward to teaching in beautiful Ireland. I am so excited about having the opportunity to talk about how I make my paintings and share my workshop notes. 

Now you stay safe and away from buses, Karen! And yes! - I am giving a workshop during AITO on Tuesday and Friday I believe it is... Can't wait!

Hi Karen, Marja and myself are interested in going painting on Friday. Sounds great. Let us know where. Thanks

Dick

Hi Karen, hope you got that, will check back with you later, my e mail and phone are down at the moment, technical glitch, hopefully get fixed soon.

Hi KaeenD'ya know if there is a Paint Out this Sunday.

Thanks

Dick

OK. We'll see if anyone else has an idea. I thought we were going to Hook but if the gang ain't going I won't go that far. I have been out during the week painting Ferrycarrig jetty and castle. I may just go back there if nothing definite is posted. And the hotel is handy for a bit of lunch...

Thanks Karen, I've done that and see what happens.

we would like to go I think...

A big thanks goes out to you both for organising such a fantastic workshop, really enjoyed and hop ATIO, goes well.

Thanks for the recent invite Karen, didn't make it this time, apologies hope it went well.
