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 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...

Comment by Karen Scannell on March 3, 2013 at 18:48: We have people working around the clock looking for new venues :)..My sis forwarded me this link, if anyone is interested :

Comment by Karen Scannell on February 20, 2013 at 13:17: Next Paintout has been suggested :

The Safe Harbour Rosslare ....One of our favorite locations in the past, yet many of our group have never been. So we'll pencil in Sunday March 3rd, for this location.....

I agree it was a very enjoyable event, but felt it was a little way out for

the time of year. What about during the summer when there would be

more people around.
