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 Karina Drogowska on March 16, 2012 at 21:48: Better be there people, because I'm going to paint there as well... maybe.

Comment by Tony Robinson on March 16, 2012 at 21:04: Not naming any names, eh?

Is there a pub or a set of co-ordinates or a parish pump or a crossroads with comely maidens or anything of the sort at Saltmills which we may gather at?

Comment by Michael McGuire on March 16, 2012 at 20:12: The match is on tomorrow, Karen, so hopefully we'll get a reasonable turnout on Sunday.

Comment by Karen Scannell on March 16, 2012 at 19:41: Looks like the weather for Sunday is good. An impromptu paintout is probably the best option for Saltmills , as we haven't based a large paintout here before.

We still need a little shelter as coastal areas can be quite chilly...so I'd favor Saltmills, and we can post the other suggestions for a later date.

Hope that suits everyone ? It will be a quiet day I guess as Ireland are playing England in The Six Nations Rugby !!

Comment by Louise Treacy on March 15, 2012 at 22:30: how about arthurststown would that be any good

Comment by Louise Treacy on March 15, 2012 at 22:26: how about Arthurstown would that be suitable??

Comment by Louise Treacy on March 15, 2012 at 22:23: sorry i was thinking of Ballyhack not passage

Comment by Michael McGuire on March 15, 2012 at 22:12: Passage East is probably a bit far, Karen, plus it means a ferry crossing, adding to the time and expense. How about meeting up in Saltmills, just down the road from Tintern Abbey.
