Cold, Clear, and Breezy... OOPS Artists go to the beach for November Paint Out

What a beautiful day we had to paint last Sunday at our November Paint Out at the beach at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base.


Clear skies but a little cool and breezy...


We didn't even have to worry about our safety... after all we were protected by America's finest!


OOPS members present: LtoR: Mitchell, Bernie, Dean, Pat, Kathi, and Stephen. Patsy was present but was a bit under the weather and left before we took the group photo. Olivia also joined in on the fun... she took this photo. She is pictured below with the group.





Patsy and Kathi look on as Stephen finds a spot out of the wind.



A special thanks to Pat who organized the Paint Out.... THANKS Pat!



Mitchell settles in for a good spot out of the wind.

Stephen found a great spot... with a tree... ;)

Glad to have Kathi back after a few months.

Dean painting away... he is celebrating one year of oil painting this month!

Look at that smile... you'd never know Patsy was sick at the time. Patsy has organized our December Paint Out at White Oak River Camp Ground set for December 14th... details coming soon!

Bernie painting a "Cabana" scene...

Olivia gathered a bunch of rocks and shells and painted on them!

See everyone on December 14th!

November Paint Out set for November 16th at the Beach!

Pat Boni has been working hard to pick a location and date for our November Paint Out... Martson Pavilion didn't pan out due to a haunted house, USMC birthday parties, and a Holiday Craft Fair... SOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... she has organized a trip to the beach on base as our November Paint Out. She has gained permission for us all to meet at the visitor's center at 1:00 PM, Sunday, November 16, 2008 where we all can gain entrance under one pass with Pat as our sponsor.

Thanks Pat for all your hard work!

Who hasn't picked a site and date for a paint out yet? Let me know and you can choose a date and location.
