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 Jan Ryan on April 3, 2015 at 12:38: Well done Karen, looking forward to seeing your paintings. Exciting times ahead. :-)

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on April 3, 2015 at 11:14: Congratulations to Karen, on being the first invited guest of 'Paint Annapolis 2015'. Places are in high demand at this prestigious event. Remember, Karen won this honour by applying for a place that is set aside for a Wexford artist. This special honour reflects the fact that Wexford and Annapolis are twinned 'sister cities'. We hope the organisers will keep the door ajar for years to come with keen interest from our side, so do apply next year. If you're not in, you can't win.

Karen will have to make her own way to carry the purple and gold proudly on our behalf in Maryland USA, so our thanks as well as congratulations are due. Sock it to 'em!

Comment by Dick Donaghue on April 2, 2015 at 11:46: Well done Karen. Keep the auld SEPA flag flyin'

Comment by Louise Treacy on April 2, 2015 at 11:40: Congratulations Karen, good on ya, best of luck in the event, I haven't seen the list yet, but for the last few years it's been almost eighty per cent of the previous years entrants selected. I don't know if anyone else entered only myself and Jane but neither of us got into the event. There could be others from the rest of Ireland though or Europe. Sure that's the way the cookie crumbles, ya pays your money and takes your chance lol. Just like the lotto.

Comment by Michael McGuire on April 2, 2015 at 11:37: Oh, the competition is fierce! Looking forward even more to Altthymen now - it could be paint-brushes at dawn! Only joking, Karen, well done you!
