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 February 18, 2015 at 13:35: Will you post an event then for St Mullins on 26th April, Louise? Should be lovely there at that time of year. That should be enough for us at the moment (as a schedule of events). Nothing to stop anyone posting other events in between these of course and using the "Friends" messaging option to alert others.

Comment by Louise Treacy on February 18, 2015 at 12:16: Or st mullins that's very nice and in April will have the cherry blossom,

Comment by Louise Treacy on February 18, 2015 at 12:14: We could always give new Ross a lash as its on the AITO map, give people who haven't painted there yet an idea of what is there for later in the year!! Just thinkin!!

Comment by Michael McGuire on February 18, 2015 at 12:03: I was thinking about Borodale too, but there are no facilities and no obvious place to meet up afterwards.

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on February 18, 2015 at 11:59: You'll probably find spring flowers at Borodale Wood, too?

Comment by Michael McGuire on February 18, 2015 at 11:34: I'd be on for it, Annie. I think the weather forecast is fairly OK too. Do you want to put it up as an event - I think now you may have the option to send a group message after doing so - if not let me know and I'll send the message after you've posted it.

Comment by Dick Donaghue on February 18, 2015 at 8:59: We have scheduled Altmont Gardens for later in March already. But going twice is no prob if people want to go this weekend. Might consider it.

Comment by Ann Cahill on February 18, 2015 at 8:01: Great to see lots of events coming up. Would anyone fancy Altomont Gardens this sunday 22nd Feb the snowdrops should still be there. meet at the Forge cafe on the left just before turning for Altomont on the right at 10 45
