Hi Bernie,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get you some directions, but here is a map that I had made and photographed for you. I think they can read it: our address is 186 Oyster Lane, Hubert, NC if they have a GPS it will get them to the right street. Be sure to come on down the street to the For Sale sign in front of 2 white brick columns and the Oyster Point sign in our front yard.
Looking forward to everyone coming!

OOPS Annual IPAP Worldwide Paint Out Sept 15 & 16 in Downtown New Bern.
IN A NUTSHELL FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT NEED ALL THE DETAILS: September's Paint Out for OOPS will be our annual involvement with the Washington, New Bern, Carteret, and Oriental Plein Air groups. As in past years we will all converge on the centrally located town of New Bern ( anywhere in the downtown historic district). The event will take place Saturday, September 15th and Sunday, September 16th, 2012. There is NO set schedule... simply agree to paint on one or both days to help promote the tradition of plein air painting worldwide.
The Details:
WHAT: OOPS! September 2012 Paint Out in conjunction with the 10th Annual International Plein Air Painters WORLDWIDE "Paint Out." International Plein Air Painters is a blanket organization created for the sole purpose of advancing the execution and enjoyment of plein air painting without the restrictions and limitations of borders or regions.
WHEN: Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 10:00am until...
and Sunday, September 16, 2012 from 10:00am until
WHERE: Historic District of Downtown New Bern, North Carolina on the waterfront at Union Point Park. Of course you can paint anywhere you'd like in New Bern.
NOTE FROM BERNIE: The OOPS bunch will participate again this year in the IPAP Worldwide Paint Out to promote the tradition of plein air painting in our area. We will join forces with anyone wishing to join in on the fun in New Bern this year. Please make sure you photograph yourself, your setting, and your painting to share on IPAP's facebook page after the event. I encourage group photos whenever possible. During this event you are basically on your own since it is hard to organize as a group or limit ourselves to one location in New Bern. Please be able to explain the purpose of the Worldwide Paint Out and what Plein Air painting is in general to the public if they should ask. There are plenty of places to eat in the area with public restrooms at the park.
WHY: To support IPAP's devotion to promoting the tradition of plein air painting WORLDWIDE!
Newbies welcome... all mediums and skill levels... simply show up with your gear and be prepared to have fun! No worries... there are NO art-snobs in our group!

Great turn out for PO yesterday! We had a BLAST!
We had a great turnout for our paint out yesterday at the MCAS Marina. A special thanks to Jon and Bobbie for organizing the event and handling all the details. The weather and location were perfect. The breeze and heat made it a bit challenging for our acrylic painters but everyone did a great job. It was great having Jennifer paint with us again plus two new members, Charles and Sunni. We also had a special treat with John, Renee, and LeAnne for joining us from Kinston! We are working on the date and location for the July Paint Out and info will go out as soon as we settle the details.

OOPS June Paint Out set for June 10, 2012 at the MCAS Marina...
WHAT: OOPS! JUNE 2012 Paint Out organized by Jon and Bobbie Mayes.
WHEN: Sunday, June 10, 2012 from Noon until...
WHERE: Marine Corps Air Station Marina. (Google for directions to MCAS Gate on HWY17S... Jon and Bobbie's note below includes directions on base. We will need a head count so Jon can sponsor those wishing to participate so they can enter the base. An email roll call will be sent out soon.
WHAT ELSE... MESSAGE FROM JON AND BOBBIE:
Jon contacted the MCAS New River marina and the MP's re: June paint-out.
The date of June 10th is okay.
We just need to give a list of people who plan to attend, before the event, to
the visitors center and for them to say that Jon is sponsoring them.
The only thing to remember about going to the Marina is to stay on the
main road, Curtis Street, follow it around the air strip. Make sure to
STOP at the runway stop sign, flashing lights...and look for aircraft going
towards the hangar to the left.
After the stop sign proceed to the end of the road and make a left.
There are many nice areas to paint: at the point, at the docks, and there is a
campground and also a picnic area on the hill which overlooks to Camp Lejeune Hospital
Point.
We have heard of Black Bear, snakes: Copperhead, water moccasins and others and alligators around so just be aware.
I doubt we will encounter any but we have heard stories.
There are restrooms, picnic tables, grills, and a playground for little kids.
There are is a vending machine for soft drinks and we think a snack machine
we can find-out for sure.
There isn't any photo's of the airfield allowed, no stopping to look along the airfield,
and of course no painting, as security is very strict and there are many areas
where we aren't allowed to go.
But the Marina is very nice, lots of shade and usually a nice breeze. I think
it will be a great place. There are even covered picnic areas in case of light rain.
Hopefully, we will have good weather.
Bobbie and Jon
PS... As soon as you get on base there is a Wendys "food-eatery" before heading to the Marina. We can all meet at Wendy's afterwards for a critique of our work. They don't require an ID card but all the other stores: px and commissary and gas station do require a military Id.
WHY: Simply put... we LOVE gathering with like minded artists and painting outdoors!
Newbies welcome... all mediums and skill levels... simply show up with your gear and be prepared to have fun! No worries... there are NO art-snobs in our group!
