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 Plein Eire Administrator on April 17, 2013 at 0:21: Contact Lynne via her own website or via Plein air Artists.

Comment by Louise Treacy on April 16, 2013 at 23:30: hey Lynne I will pass that on to any friends painters or even Monpainters Who I believe may be interested ok

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on April 16, 2013 at 23:25: American artist, Lynne Haines, a friend of Don Maier and member of his 'Plein Air Artists' website, writes:
"I have a lake cabin on Lake Roosevelt and I organize a plein air artist retreat annually www.pleinairartistretreat.com - Don Maier and Nikolai Kraneis have each stayed and painted at www.lincolnlakecabin.com. The only way I could afford to plein air with you guys in Ireland is if someone trades me accommodation. Put me up and I'll put you up. Any takers?"

Whether or not you are in a position to take up Lynne's offer to visit her artist's retreat home in the USA, she seems an enthusiastic and genuine person who would love to visit.

Anyone free to show Lynne some Wexford hospitality during Art in the Open 2013?

abrupt. Was going to say but I don't have a very posh car!!

Comment by Ann Cahill on April 14, 2013 at 16:45: Hi, if it helps I've parked lot's of time at Edenvale and never had a problem

Comment by Michael McGuire on April 14, 2013 at 11:46: That's at least three of us then! Now, I must get on with arranging fine weather!

Comment by Phil Stewart on April 14, 2013 at 11:09: That's a good idea

Hope to see you then at Edenvale or Killurin.

Comment by Karen Scannell on April 14, 2013 at 11:04: I'm Happy to do both...Edenvale in the morning, and Killurin Bridge in the Afternoon. Both have something to offer, and are close to one another..
