I would LOVE to try some (or all) of your ideas!!!<BR/><BR/>an o/o county idea: the "octagon house" in Cedar Point area. the current rehab does not do justice to the historical rep of this old house (but, it's a thought). <BR/><BR/>We are on a roll!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102948950241862723.post-87571001944871022172008-01-09T09:25:00.000-08:002008-01-09T09:25:00.000-08:00Great ideas Donna and Dean!

How about palette knife only painting or even a painting with anything but a brush ie.., q-tip, toothpick, pine needles.... I know it sounds odd but it would sure push you to think and who knows what may find a permanent spot in your "tool chest". As for ideas, once you mention barns, farms, beaches and junk I think we covered all of Onslow county. As for out of county, what about the ships down in WIlmington waterfront? Or even that downtown area?Dean Remingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881244710508575434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102948950241862723.post-72024230551759049862008-01-08T18:06:00.000-08:002008-01-08T18:06:00.000-08:00ideas from Donna and Mitchell: IN-COUNTY IDEAS>>> ...ideas from Donna and Mitchell: <BR/><BR/>IN-COUNTY IDEAS>>> <BR/>paint on the beach (Topsail?); Sneads Ferry Fish House (one with lots of character!); paint in an old junk yard (though could REALLY be a fun thing to do!!!); civil war re-enactment in R'lands; some bldg/site that is covered with thick ivy/vines; Hammock Beach (ferry/vis center/etc); Mike's Tree Farm (and we could arrange it so that we all dine family style at Mike’s/ Restaurant; a playground (old-style); paint a train; paint the Sylvester Estate on Comfort Hwy in R'lands area.
