Latest Activity: on Saturday

SEPA is an association of amateur and professional painters who paint together regularly outdoors in S.E. Ireland. All artists are welcome. SEPA organises Ireland's 'Art in the Open' plein air festival. SEPA membership is free. NB. As with all Paint-Outs posted on Plein Eire, these events are simply notifications of intent by one individual to be at a particular place and time to paint. Each member's participation is entirely at his/her own risk. No responsibility for harm or loss of person or property on the part of anyone else is intended or implied.

Here are a few ideas for paint-out venues. Please add your own suggestions and we'll get a schedule together for the coming weeks. Your addfitional recommendations welcome.

Ballinkeele House

Newtownbarry House & Gardens

Dunamore Wood (Borodale) (no facilities)

Rosslare Harbour Lagoon

Tinahely

Wexford Beaches

Wexford Gardens

The Still Pond, near Enniscorthy

As ever, it is weather permitting, so in case the organiser needs to cancel, please indicate by RSVP for each event so a single message will let everyone know if an event is 'On' or 'Off'.

In particular, it seems smaller villages where we have access to coffee and a bite and a chance to say'hello' are sought-after venues. Here are some suggestions:

Duncormick, Screen, Killinick, Lady's Island, Clohamon, Saltmills, Slade

Comment by Lynne Mac Chonnchradha on July 16, 2013 at 11:16: Is Carne Beach where the pier is? (The fishing poles just went into the boot of the car, right next to my painting gear.)

Comment by Billyo O'Donnell on July 13, 2013 at 15:37: Car rental for 4 days from the port just south of including everything is right at 500 euros. My car rental from Shannon and returning it to Shannon is only 130 Euros.

Comment by Billyo O'Donnell on July 13, 2013 at 15:34: I am planing on heading to Shannon on Bus Eireann. The rate is very reasonable 17 Euros. My car rental for the 4 days will cost less then the drop off fee.

Comment by Lynda Moore on July 13, 2013 at 15:28: Billyo, I would love to dive it back to dublin for you. Is that possible. Wht is your perfect locutions?
Also, my so (40 years old ) needs a bus to Shannon around the 9th and can't figure out the route. We should talk at the AITO event.

Comment by Billyo O'Donnell on July 13, 2013 at 14:44: Lynda, The drop off fee is right at 150 euros. It is an extra charge for picking up the car in one location and dropping it off in another. I'm thinking of taking the bus to the Shanon airport and renting the car there.

Comment by Karen Scannell on July 11, 2013 at 23:17: We'll give you a few pointers when you get here Billy..Some lovely little gems around Co. Wexford, Co. Kilkenny, Copper Coast in Waterford would be along your way to the West..perhaps The Village of Ring, which is a Gaelteacht Area in the South East (Irish Speaking). ...

Comment by Lynda Moore on July 10, 2013 at 21:48: What is a drop off fee? And how do you avoid it?

Comment by Billyo O'Donnell on July 10, 2013 at 21:37: Hi Lynda, your welcome to join. Lets see if there is anyone else headed that way. Or that may have other suggestions for areas to visit. I have made no plans and am flexible. I have rented a car for 4 days and am a little nervous about driving on the wrong side. The drop off fee is huge. I think I could pay for someones gasoline for a couple of weeks just with the drop off fee.

Comment by Kevin Freeney on July 10, 2013 at 21:13: Or Karen, we could all go up to the RDS on Sunday 14th to support you in the Dublin heat of the Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year? http://skyarts.sky.com/portrait/dublin
