South East Plein Air

I am likely to be in Wexford this w/e and would like to paint out with you guys, but not in Craighnamanagh as I will be in South Wexford around Lady's Island. 

Yes if you cross the bridge. The restaurant is on the Kilkenny side.

Can't make it Sunday for either locations. Heading to Doolin on 11th, so might look to meeting up with JeanAnne's group.

Looking forward to paint tomorrow!Graiguenamanagh is a great spot.

I only know of one

Time: June 21, 2015 all day
Location: Ravens Wood meet at carpark 10 45 near coffee van

Hi  South East group,anyone interested in getting our paint outs done in advance like we did last year, which worked very well. We had them every two weeks and had about six up on the events page. I know we won't get six in before Art in the Open starts but we could get it started. It doesn't have to be two weeks we could have one a week if we want till the Art in the Open. I don't mind if I put up a paint out for next Sunday 29th. We all love painting so lets get the ball rolling

Hi Annie, Good idea.

Is there still a rota running ? I know Neil was planning on Ballyhack last week, so maybe that's for this coming Sunday...

Sunday 28th - 

Sunday July 5th - 

Sunday July 12th- 

Sunday July 19th- 

Sunday July 26th -

We need members to adopt a Sunday, post an event, both on the Event page, and mention it here on SEPA.

One of the things we should do as SEPA Members is to "Friend" all SEPA members. When you post an Event, the email notifies all people of your friend list, so take time to make sure all members of SEPA at least, are on your friend list so all will be notified for future events...

I suggest Castlebridge. Big Mill and Mill wheel. Old ruins and some stone buildings. The Frying Irishman restaurant is open from 10am. Small river etc... Sunday 28th?

Good idea, Annie.

Ballyhack for which date? I'm getting confused.

I suggest once a date is adopted by someone, they post it to 'Events' and not just casually in the comment thread here. Then we know for sure.

I'll take on 19 July, if you like, and I'm suggesting Killinick's Karoo Farm Shop to meet. I'll take some photos and post it to Events this week unless that date is taken?

I've checked with Neill. He's not posting. So I have posted the following in Events.

SEPA Paint Out CASTLEBRIDGE, Co Wexford Sunday 28th June.

Admin might please broadcast to the group. Thanks

Great Dick, thanks. I think, if a comment is made on this group page, all members are notified in an email, automatically..

Hi Karen. I just noticed a "Send message to group" above the photos of the group on this page. I clicked that and you'll know if it worked as you'll get an email.

It worked, Dick. But it's better if you post the event first, then copy the URL, open Pleineire again in another window and copy the URL as a link to your group e-mail. It might sound complicated, but it's actually very simple when you try it.

OK, gotcha. Will do it next time as don't want to send the message a second time.... spamming?

That would be SEPAmming then, Dick!

Yeah, my smart ripostes are nearly as bad as those of the "administrator"!

Ballyhack on July 12th

Wrong date posted earlier in the week when it said 2nd July . Lady's Island Paint Out now scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday 5th July).  http://pleineire.ning.com/events/lady-s-island

eanwhile, Ballyhack Paint-Out is scheduled for 12th July

We are being spoilt!

We are up for it. OK.

Confusion.... I see Annie has posted an event for Ladies Island for the 5 the?

So sorry my mistake Tony told me when I was in his shop and changed it for me. It is tomorrow Sunday the 5th of July, hope to see you there.

Hi. The weather for Ballyhack tomorrow Sunday 12th is looking not too bad. Any other views on this?

Forecast is looking good, Dick. And best time to paint the boats there is when the tide is out which sort of coincides with when we are there too - low tide around 9-30 am.

Hi Everyone,

Ned has made two scholarship places available  for two of his workshops. His landscape scholarship has been taken, and we've one place left for his portrait workshop this Thursday 16th.

The workshop is a three day workshop 16-18th. The day begins at 9am, finishes at 4pm, and is based in my studio in Broadway.

This is open to beginners or advanced students. If you would have loved to have taken his Portrait workshop , but couldn't afford to this year, please message me here or on Facebook, or email me at : theswallowsneststudio@yahoo.ie  

All the best, Karen

Hi everyone, so hard only having a couple of places, for Ned's scholarships, and sorry to disappoint anyone. We have the scholarships filled now. Thanks, for your interest,and thanks to Ned, for giving us the places..

Paint-Out at Killinick. Sunday 19th July.

http://pleineire.ning.com/events/paint-out-at-killinick.

Weather forecast seems ok, especially for the morning. Be there by 10.30 and don't miss your complimentary Sunday morning eye-opener at Karoo Farm Shop.

In the absence of any other suggestions, I may head down to Tagoat for the Steam Rally on Sunday if it isn't too packed. Perhaps to paint a traction engine. I hear insurance costs for the owners of these leviathans are making these rallies more and more difficult to put on these days. Thoughts, please.

Too noisy and busy for me. I'm going back to Ferrycarrig castle again. Feel it's needs a few more angles...!

Sunday looks ok and Monday and Tuesday look even better. Anyone else any other suggestions?

Vintage thrashing in Craanford on Sunday, if anyone is interested. :+)
