The Plein Air Way

Here is a nice idea prepared by Josephine Boland of Kinvara to provide a handy guide to the main plein air events around Ireland on an A4 page. It consists of a map and a set of contact links with QR codes. We don’t have pdf yet but there is one and we will post it when we can. The demand for such a guide reflects the happy rise of such events throughout the country and further afield. It is encouraging and inspiring to see the sheer popularity of Plein air painting nowadays. If you know of any…See More

Neil Carrigan RIP

I am posting these few paintings of late Plein Eire artist Neil Carrigan. It is only right to remove Neil's name from our current membership but I am sure his many friends and fellow artists would appreciate being able to refer to his work from time to time, His work and courageous words are his memorial.

 "Life is for living and should be joyful. I enjoy painting and the challenges it brings. My work focuses on positive emotions rather than the depressive and negative aspects of…

Art in the Open 2014: How was it for you?

Although a few visiting painters still remain to see other parts of our island, another AITO festival has receded into memory and archive.

If you have any recollections or comments please post them here. Good or bad, we'd love to hear them.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope this year will be great to join some plein air painting fun. :)

Hi there thanks for letting me join up to Plein Eire. Can I join paint outs in other areas if there's not much going on in the south west group? I'm in north Cork quite a distance from west Cork and Kerry, but will make it down there as well, hopefully.

Thanks Tony.  I consider it a HUGE  honour to have been invited, and I have some enormous boots to try and fill.  The other artists ard all amazing.  I know four of them from AITO.

Of course I'll post about my adventures.
