Great turnout by OOPS members at January "FREEZE Out / Paint Out"

These brave souls withstood the COLD temps yesterday at the January "Paint Out" at Heart's Desire Equine Rescue to do what they love... paint in plein air!


Pictured left to right: Dean (10 gallon hat), Bernie, Earl, Donna T., Stephen, Donna G., Mitchell (hiding behind Donna) Pat, Kathi, Karen, and Patsy.

The temp was in the mid 30's with a brisk breeze that made it feel like low 20's... The trees broke the wind and made the day very bearable and ENJOYABLE!

Mitchell painted a "10 Gallon Hat" with Dean in it!

We drew a crowd... a rather nice bunch I might add!

After the "Paint Out" we gathered (except for the die hard football fans) at the Red Barn for a great meal and fellowship. We discussed the day and critiqued (rather discussed) each others work... a tradition I hope continues.

We'll share the finished works soon...

See you all on the 20th!

January 2008 "Paint Out" set for the 20th at Heart's Desire Equine Rescue, Inc.

A note from Donna...

We’ve done historical sites, coastal scenes, and pastoral/barn scenes. Now, it’s time to see how we do with animals!

I have arranged for OOPS to meet at 1:00 PM on Sunday, 20 Jan 07, at HEART’S DESIRE EQUINE RESCUE located on Hogan’s Road in Bear Creek -- Hubert is the mailing address. Hogan’s Rd is also locally known as Hatteras Yacht Rd/ Tiara Yacht Road – where the boat-builder company is located in Bear Creek.

Also, The Red Barn Restaurant (traditional/fried seafood) is about 2 miles from the rescue stables; and, those who like could go for an after-paint gnosh (Dutch treat); they also have burgers and dogs if one prefers this over seafood.

Looking forward to another great outing!
