Need Your Ideas for 2008...

Dear fellow OOPS artists...

Happy New Year... here's to a GREAT 2008!

Please use the comments section of THIS post to list any ideas you may have for our group this year...

Ideas such as "paint out" locations, dates, workshops, trips, or anything in general that you come up with.

Many of you have recommended locations outside of the county... that is fine for an added "paint out" but I feel with the upcoming show in June that we need to stick to locations within Onslow County since that is how the show is promoted. However... we can take a plein air trip and paint anywhere.

I can't wait to hear your ideas...

Bernie
