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 Kevin Freeney on November 14, 2011 at 19:09: Yay, somewhere close! Any of these would be great and can we have more closer to Wexford, the home of Sepa, in 2012? As I can't usually travel far, not only do I miss out on meeting friends from neighbouring counties but also my buddies from Wexford.

Comment by Karen Scannell on November 14, 2011 at 1:59: Well 2011 is nearly at a close, and we have one or two paint outs left before we start thinking about 2012. Time flies doesn't it?

I was thinking of somewhere close to hand next Sunday if anyone is interested? The Safe Harbor, Rosslare Strand, Rosslare Harbor beach, St. Helens beach, Kilmore, the Wildfowl Reserve , South Slobs...any thoughts or suggestions??

Comment by Karen Scannell on October 23, 2011 at 15:28: I was thinking to wait until after the Opera festival for our next paint out. . We've been promising to go to Waterford City for a long time, so how would you all feel about that?That would be on Sunday November 6th..

If anyone would like to paint out next Sunday 30th, let us know on SEPA group page , as others might be interested also....

Comment by Geraldine Donohoe on October 10, 2011 at 0:47: Horror, Horror.... it was the idea of paintballing in my Louboutins!!! Enough colour on the soles dahling!!!

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on October 10, 2011 at 0:30: As I remember, if intending to take the forest walk down to the Slaney River, it would be best not to wear your Manolos on this one.

Comment by Louise Treacy on October 7, 2011 at 8:02: Yes we will have to take up that very generous invite to kilgraney at some stage soon tony but alltamont sounds good I
Hope to make it all going well f ingers crossed for good weather

Comment by Geraldine Donohoe on October 6, 2011 at 13:40: The alternative - ? In these shoes?.........I don't think so!!!!!!!!

Comment by Karen Scannell on October 6, 2011 at 13:15: Like your alternative Tony .....could generate a spate of Jackson Pollock - type landscapes :))

Opening times for Altamont at the moment are 9am to 5pm, I'm waiting for word back on facilities available, but judging by the site it looks as though there's no coffee shop, so the Forge is good idea as a meeting point. I'll post up details later , when I have some confirmation......

Comment by Tony Robinson on October 6, 2011 at 9:58: Would The Forge be a good spot to hook up for Altamont? Its on the main road at the turn-off for Altamont. I'm not sure if there's tea/coffee on site, although there are outdoor tables.

We also have an open invitation to Kilgraney.

....Alternatively, how about THIS? - I think that's Kev Freeney in the jumpsuit.
