OOPS Artists step back in time...

Several OOPS members enjoyed a day of plein air painting and history at their additional October paint out at Hammocks Beach State Park. The paint out was in conjunction with a Civil War living history program put on by the Jacksonville, Pelletier, and Morehead City Sons of Confederate Veterans organizations.
