Hi Sally, Before the weekend is out I would like to say a big thank you for organising Saturday and looking out for me, especially the car space at the castle. Tks, Alison
Yes- I'm only finding my way around this site too -(its quite sophisticated, isnt it?). This I think is the place for memeber-to-member comments rather than on Group pages. On reflection, I dont think "Events" would be flagged by email to specific members - "Events" seems like a public announcement board so all signed up members would have to be emailed everytime a new event went up. "Group" postings, on the other hand, are emailed to group members.
So your "every-second-sat" is running on 27/08, 10/09, 24/09.....thanks for not clashing with first Sat - but I think they will eventually line up: "every-second-sat" ignores that there might be 5 sats in a month occassionally so then the Sats will be synchronised, until the next 5-Sat-month un-syncs them again! Its not a perfect world!
I,m away 20/08 and doing a life workshop 27/08, but I'll catch up with youse soon after that!
I got an email from a Tom Byrne saying he's in Dublin 24-30 Aug and looking for a Paint Out - are you going out on 27thAug? I'll tell him look your group up.
Sallly, Thank you for your kind comments. I work hard at "trying to simplify -into notes of colour" It takes alot of dedication. You are obviously outdoors alot catching the reflections in water. I like your compositions.
May I wish all my friends, most of whom I didn't even know this time last year, a very happy Christmas and a new year full of happy painting experiences.
Hi Sally thanks for the invite, but I'm in France right now on a short break and won't be back in time for the opening, so I won't be able to attend, but thanks again. I wish you all every success with it, just holding it is a success, don't worry about the sales, they're a bonus if they happen. John
Hi Sally,Hope the exhibition is a success..I hope to be in Drogheda this Saturday and I will try and get out to see it.If there was a paint out on this Sat.I could try and make that too.
Sally Thanks for your encouraging comments.....as you can see i have tweaked the painting a little bit .....left it now that's it finished.....love to see your great work ....might return to Bettystown today as the light looks good Pat
Hi Sally it was great to get out painting en plein air and to meet other like minded artists and amateurs like myself. I'm looking forward to other outings with the group. Regards. Peter
I would love to get out some time with your group so I will keep an eye out for the next venue and will certainly give thought to where in Cavan we could paint although I am happy to travel to new places. So look forward to it.
Hi Sally, I would love to join the group in a few weeks away. Just bad timing at the moment as family are home from abroad over the next while. Looking forward to meeting you all and at making my effort at plein air. : )
Hi Sally. Lovely meeting you too. I'd love to go out some Saturday just not sure when! Kids off school & summer hols etc.. But I will. I think! Take care, Susan
Thanks for the welcome Sally,bit of a nervous wreck, have never tried to paint outdoors, only started painting in January,is it possible to just tag along to see how things work . thanks maria
Hi Sally, just got home this evening, left at 11 this morning didn't get home till near ,5 this evening, made a right mess of things but eventually got here,loved the weekend really lovely people, love Donegal too,except for the midges, I'm scratching all over. great to meet you Sally
Hi Sally, I hope to join you on a paint-out soon.I've been getting Nora's e-mails but didn't realise there were other events organised also. I must keep a closer eye on the site! Looking forward to catching up with the group ...every best wish, Mary

Yes, I agree. I thought I would do a dramatic twist on them, and see how they turned out. I think they are the seed heads of Summer Thistle.
