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 Lize Human on January 29, 2013 at 12:07: The historcal theme is a good idea. Are we going to get a brief history lesson about each venue? Will be very interesting though...

Comment by Michael McGuire on January 28, 2013 at 14:54: The CIA would probably round us all up, Margaret!

Comment by Margaret Kent on January 28, 2013 at 14:17: I think we might !!

Comment by Karen Scannell on January 28, 2013 at 13:46: We'd be pushing it to ask can we paint while he's there ??? :))

Comment by Karen Scannell on January 28, 2013 at 13:45: Yes Please Margaret....that would be great thanks !

Comment by Margaret Kent on January 28, 2013 at 13:31: Good idea Karen do you want me to talk to Pat Grennan?

Comment by Karen Scannell on January 28, 2013 at 12:56: That's good news Margaret, btw there's talk of Obama visiting the JFK Homestead this year...I wonder could we paint there at some point ??

Comment by Margaret Kent on January 28, 2013 at 11:26: I was down in Loftus Hall last September when the straw bales were in the fields and it was beautiful,they have made a super walkway right down onto the rocks.........stunning ........and another view of Hook head.I would imagine the cafe etc is seasonal but would be worth the wait.

Comment by Michael McGuire on January 27, 2013 at 17:07: In a theoligal sense, we could start with Loftus Hall then! Leave it with me until next weeK

Comment by Karen Scannell on January 27, 2013 at 16:06: What if we took a Historical Theme this year ? It may not bring us to the most devastatingly beautiful Locations, but i like the idea of learning a little about our Counties History..as to be honest I haven't much of a clue about Wexfords Past...?

Each paint out wouldn't HAVE to have a historical Connection, but it would be preferable .....
