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 Louise Treacy on March 15, 2012 at 22:23: sorry i was thinking of Ballyhack not passage

Comment by Michael McGuire on March 15, 2012 at 22:12: Passage East is probably a bit far, Karen, plus it means a ferry crossing, adding to the time and expense. How about meeting up in Saltmills, just down the road from Tintern Abbey.

Comment by Margaret Kent on March 15, 2012 at 22:09: Karen there is scaffolding on Dunbrody Abbey at the moment which is not very attractive.

Comment by Louise Treacy on March 15, 2012 at 22:08: wouldn't mind passage east and HAVE
to get out this week and paint !!!!!

Comment by Karen Scannell on March 15, 2012 at 21:36: Dunbrody Abbey, Passage East, Duncormick........these or any other preferences for this Sunday???

Dunbrody Abbey itself is closed until May, but the surrounding Countryside is beautiful.

Passage East - It has been a long time since we've visited here, - it has plenty to offer

Duncormick - we enjoyed Duncormick a couple of weeks ago..is it too soon to return?

Comment by Ann Cahill on March 3, 2012 at 9:24: Hi Karen Duncormick sounds great , happy to go there. Let's give it a

go , you say time and place. Packing car already!!

Comment by Karen Scannell on March 3, 2012 at 0:56: ...or how about Duncormick - we haven't painted there before:

"Duncormick is located on beautiful River Muck and is one of the stops on the scenic Bannow Drive, a popular tourist trail "

It's close to a number of beaches, if we feel like a change. I have no info on facilities here ...so it would come under " a reconnaissance mission".... Any thoughts?

..or Dunbrody Abbey + suurounds ??

Comment by Terence Gillespie on March 2, 2012 at 13:27: Hi Karen, thanks for coming up with such a good schedule of paintouts. I hope to be able to get to most and am really looking forward to the new season
