Congrats to Sherry Thurston!
Congratulations to Sherry Thurston on her recent retirement from the Onslow County School system as Art teacher at Dixon High School.
***
Also I wanted to let you and your friends know I will be teaching some acrylic painting classes for beginners and intermediates at Michael’s in Jacksonville this summer.
Michael's and Chartpak have partnered to offer a wonderful deal on painting supplies, coupons and classes which I will be teaching soon. The products are by Grumbacher assuring quality. These classes will be fun even with your first try. It takes time and practice to paint but in the two hour classes you will have the basics down so you can do your first landscape! Floral paintings will be the second set of classes. Dates will be forthcoming.
But... that's not all...
Her painting "My Beach House" was recently featured on the cover of the Topsail Advertiser.
.
But.. that's not all...
.
She (along with several other OOPS artists... more details coming soon) will have three paintings exhibited in the reinCARnation Exhibit at the Wayne County Arts Council in July.
.
But that's not all...
.
She's teaching art classes! Here's a note from her with her schedule of classes...
.
Just retired from teaching in public schools and now it's time to focus on painting and teaching in Thurston Art Gallery! Call for a schedule on classes in Sneads Ferry. (910-526-9988 cell) or(910-327-1781). We can do morning classes or evening. Adults and Children classes, limited space so call early.

Several OOPS! Members enjoy a day with Mike Rooney
Several OOPS members recently enjoyed a one day workshop given by artist and friend, Mike Rooney. Mike taught us the Cape Cod style of painting which is colorful and FULL of light. We went through various exercises, watched him do a plein air demo, and then painted ourselves. The style was very challenging for many of us but it was a breath of fresh air to be taken out of our comfort zones and learn something new. A special thanks to the Council for the Arts for subsidising and organizing this awesome workshop!
Artists present were:

Invitation to Plein Air Paint at "New River Palooza!"
Brittany and Betty of the New River Foundation, have extended an invitation to any OOPS members to paint and join them in celebrating their 15th year anniversary with a festival on the New River, dubbed the "New River Palooza!" The festival is set for Saturday. June 26th (10am-4pm) at Riverwalk in Downtown Jacksonville.
This is a great opportunity for those who missed our paint out in Swansboro earlier this month. I"ll be painting in the Blue Rodge Mountains and won't be there... have FUN!
We are working on a date for our July Paint Out... I'm hoping we can paint at the Rock Quarry in Maysville since it was rained out in April. I'll find out from Dean and get back with everyone.
