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

It still might be a bit early to travel that distance, so we'll keep it in mind for later in the year. If anyone has any photos or info on this or any other location, please let us know. We generally need a location that has facilities, and good subject matter.

We'll keep it safe this week again, as it's short notice, and head back to our old reliable - Kilmore Quay.

Comment by Louise Treacy on February 24, 2012 at 9:24: I've passed through it many many times en route to Dublin, but personally I would not be a great fan, plus its a fair long spin petrolwise.

Comment by Karen Scannell on February 24, 2012 at 0:02: Any thoughts for this Sunday?? Tullow co. Carlow has been suggested, but I have never been. What's it like??

Comment by Mary H Hickey on February 11, 2012 at 15:59: Hi Karen, I hope to call down to Johnstown Castle on Sunday to see you all in action and to know what to bring along when I finally get to join in the outdoor painting,

Comment by Michael McGuire on January 26, 2012 at 15:40: Anyone interested in painting on Sunday? A few of us had discussed Forth Mountain (at the mass rock/shrine on the Western side of the mountain). Can you set it up here, Karen, and I will post directions.

Hi Karen, passed thro' Thomastown today on way to Kilkenny, it has great potential for a paint-out. Also thought a trip down to Carnsore/Chour/ Nethertown area might be nice during the Summer. We haven't been there en masse yet.............Kevin Lewis

Comment by Tony Robinson on November 17, 2011 at 22:57: When you sugar-coat it like that...!

Anyway, I have to get my 'November' one done and this could be it.

Comment by Karen Scannell on November 17, 2011 at 22:30: The weather is to be a bit "dodgy" on Sunday, so how about the working quay in Wexford for a quick painting in the morning....followed by a sloooow pint in Riverbank in the afternoon, to wind up the year?
