Your Site For Artists Who Paint Outdoors

I have an exhibition running at the moment in the Cedars Hotel, Rosslare Strand (continues until 29th September), and to draw attention to it, I've decided to paint occasionally in the hotel lobby. I did my first session last Wednesday afternoon and got this far after about three hours or so (the painting is 20" x 24" oil on canvas - I'm using a small plein air study as a reference - the scene is near the Blasket Interpretive Centre in West Kerry):-

 

 

I'll be back painting there tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday 29th August), and will hopefully finish the painting or at least bring it close to a finish before I leave. Please drop in if you're in the area.

I just noticed that the colour of this photo is a lot warmer than the previous one - the true colour now is probably somewhere in between. I'll post a better photo next time.

Thanks to everyone who came along to watch me paint today. Painting, especially studio work, can be a very solitary experience, so it's nice to have company for a change! Anyway for those who couldn't get there, this is where I got to today. Probably still have another 2-3 hours work left on this one, but I feel it's heading in the right direction.

I'm back painting in the Cedars Hotel, Rosslare Strand, tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday 5th September 2-5 pm). Looks like it will be a sunny day, so I'll probably be the only one indoors! Anyway, I spent more time talking than painting last week, so I still have quite a bit if work left on this one. Please drop in to watch or just for a chat if you're in the area. This is where I got to last Wednesday:-

I'll be there from 2-5 pm, Nuala. Looking forward to seeing you both.

Great news Michael we'll be there , any news about a start time. 

Comment by Michael McGuire on August 31, 2012 at 16:21

I'll be there again next Wednesday afternoon, Nuala. But the weather forecast is very good for next week, so I'll probably be the only one in the Hotel!

A "starving artist", Tony!

Michael just signed on to the site and found what you are up to, we are mad we missed you. Are you doing this again we would love to see you in action.  We will be dropping in to view your exibition for sure.

I must've been wrong about the pints - don't know about making an exhibition of yourself but you practically disappear altogether when you turn sideways! Will someone buy that man a club sambo and a few rissoles before he wastes away!
