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.

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.

Hi there, Not sure who I am communicating with (do you have a name?) but I will edit my paintings to exclude the frames - no problem. FYI I paint en plein aire and this is the way I see the landscape in front of me.. rgds, Paul
Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope this year will be great to join some plein air painting fun. :)
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.
Thanks very much, looking forward to getting out soon
Thank you very much for your congratulations Tony, I think it is a great honor and I'm very happy with it ... It was a great festival and we've missed you! I hope to see you again soon, then we can celebrate it with a beer :-)
