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

Hazel was well known in Wexford for her work in the Art in the Open, she never missed a w/s at the Corn loft Studio over the last 10 years. She was a lovely lady and will be missed by all her artist friends. Thanks for your friendship Hazel. R.I.P.

Carousels, puppet show, music and colourful funfair atmosphere and SEPA are invited to come along and help capture it. Sasta is organised by impresario Barry Enniscorthy, a good friend of Art on the Open and he'll be very pleased to see us there on either day.

Comment by Karen Scannell on May 24, 2013 at 23:06: Apologies for the short notice Terry, see you out and about soon !

Comment by Terence Gillespie on May 24, 2013 at 20:49: Karen, Very sorry I won't be able to make anywhere this Sunday.

However I am suffering severe plein-air withdrawal symptoms and need a group paint-out "fix" soon to re-establish something akin to sanity.

Comment by Karen Scannell on May 24, 2013 at 20:22: Fethard has been suggested for Sunday...there's a 10km run/walk on from Hook Lighthouse for MS, arriving in Fethard @ 2pm. There's plenty to paint there with Fethard Harbour, Village, Baginbun or Hook whichever suits ..Any takers ?

Comment by Karen Scannell on May 24, 2013 at 10:57: Anyone thinking of going anywhere this Sunday ?

Comment by Karen Scannell on May 18, 2013 at 0:11: That sounds like craic Rita. I'd certainly be up for it....maybe we could all go as "The Plein Air Crusade"..... although the torture chamber may still be in working order in the Castle..I'd better remember to count the numbers when we leave..:)

Comment by Rita Lett on May 10, 2013 at 23:38: How about a bit of fun, come to Ferns Gathering on Saturday the 8th June, lots to paint. You can dress in the 16th century costume, check www.fernsvillage.ie for patterns if you wish to make a authentic Gaelic Tunic. Old curtain material would be great. Or you can purchase a costume, email: dpcodd@hotmail.com Their is a Medieval Fair on the Castle Green from 3-8.30. and lots more.

Its all about having fun. See you their. Rita
