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 David Goldberg on June 23, 2017 at 7:51: I am deeply saddened to learn of Terrence's demise. He was a great man, a good painter, and he showed an extraordinary knowledge of so many things.

Comment by Louise Treacy on June 23, 2017 at 7:31: Sad news indeed to hear of Terence passing. A pleasure to have known and enjoyed his company at many a paint out and social occasion.
Terence will be sorely and sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. RIP Terence .

Comment by Norah Blount on June 23, 2017 at 7:22: Terrence was indeed a true gentleman, he often joined us and it was a pleasure to have his company, his wide cheeky grin which followed a witty comment was always sure to cheer us up.

Comment by Michael McGuire on June 23, 2017 at 6:32: Terry always brightened up the day, when he turned up for a paint-out. I'll miss our discussions (sometimes borderline arguments!) about painting. A huge intellect, but beneath it all a true gentleman and just a really nice guy.

Comment by Kevin Freeney on June 22, 2017 at 22:36: Yes, we'll all miss this true witty and gentle gent.

Comment by Karen Scannell on June 22, 2017 at 22:19: Terrence will be very sadly missed...kind, intelligent and witty, he was an avid supporter of our Plein air group attending many paintouts and events. He loved the commeradery, and the chance to practice his love of art. He made a lasting impression on all who met him...a true gentleman. . we have no word yet on arrangements for his funeral. I will be in Dublin on Tuesday to collect Ned, but if arrangements are before then, I have room in my car for a couple of people. Just let me know if you d like to attend. Rest in peace Terry

Comment by Tony Robinson on June 22, 2017 at 19:19: Sad to report the news that our friend Terence Gillespie died in hospital today. He was a quiet man and a true gentleman who loved company and painting and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him and especially his dear wife, Nancy.
