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 Michael McGuire on April 14, 2013 at 11:00: I heard it from Mattie Grannell (Grannell Motors), so I presume it happened a few times and he repaired the cars involved. But maybe if it's Sunday, it will be busier there, so less likely to be targeted. I think the same thing happens in places like Curracloe/Raven's Point other than during busy periods. The advantage of Edenvale is that it's fairly sheltered. The other place could be very exposed if it's cold and windy.

Comment by Phil Stewart on April 14, 2013 at 10:26: Well just another thought where you can be close to the car, How about down at the jetty at Killurin Bridge, depending on the tide and weather it can be quite interesting.

Comment by Phil Stewart on April 14, 2013 at 10:23: Yes its Edenvale, I don't know what to say about the vandalised cars. There is another entrance to it at the top but there is no parking spaces there it would just be on the road.

Comment by Karen Scannell on April 14, 2013 at 9:58: Sounds Like Edenvale Phil. Very good choice for this time of year, before there is a spurt of growth in the trees....

Comment by Michael McGuire on April 14, 2013 at 9:55: Where exactly is that, Phil? Is it Edenvale? If so, a lot of us have painted there quite frequently. My main concern though is that I've heard that cars have been vandalised there recently.

Comment by Phil Stewart on April 14, 2013 at 9:30: How about a picturesque valley - the Sow River waterfall near Castlebridge, it has good scope for water and trees and is sheltered. There is parking for a few cars, up to 10 or 12.

Comment by Karen Scannell on April 12, 2013 at 23:09: Any thoughts for Sunday week ? April 21st

Comment by Karen Scannell on March 13, 2013 at 13:25: Thanks Micheal. ..forgot completely!

Comment by Michael McGuire on March 13, 2013 at 13:17: Next Sunday is St Patrick's Day, Karen, so maybe a lot of people have other plans. I've already secured permission (required hanging out the washing, doing some ironing and cooking a couple of dinners!).

Comment by Karen Scannell on March 13, 2013 at 11:32: After getting our noses cut off with the cold wind last time..we're eagerly looking for a location with some shelter for a possible paint out this Sunday?

How about Duncormick ? We were here about this time last year, and were told of some areas around it that still need to be discovered ??

Here's a link to last years page http://pleineire.ning.com/group/southeastpleinair/page/duncormick-c...
