OOPS February Paint Out / Life Class

Calling all painters! Sunday February 19th from noon till 4pm at the council for the arts (Jacksonville) we will be having our yearly model session! Bring your paints and easels and get ready for four hours of painting from life!! The model is yet to be determined. I will attempt to work with the local homeless shelter to see if they have someone who could use the donations. For those who do not know, donations are accepted to pay the model for sitting and defray some of the cost of the room rental. If you are tight on cash don't worry about it you are still very welcomed and wanted!   Please share this on your timeline so we can get max participation!! All skill levels are welcome! The more the merrier!!

Here is the Schedule for All County Arts this Saturday at White Oak High School. This will be our OOPS February Paint Out with a special shout out to Karen Lee Crenshaw and Jim Phillips for teaching the plein air workshops.

Note to All County Art Students...
Break out sessions will be conducted by professional artists and art educators and will include plein air painting, metal sculpture, collaborative mural, etc. Students will also screen print their own t-shirt to commemorate the event.
Due to the concentrated work that is expected of any Honors group, we will expect the following cooperation:
1. Students must report to all sessions on time and remain for the full session. Students who are unable to attend all sessions are asked to decline participation so that an alternate may attend.
2. Student conduct must be of superior quality at all times.
3. Each family will be responsible for the transportation of their student to and from all sessions.
4. On Saturday, a short lunch break will be scheduled and all students are required to stay on campus. Lunch (pizza, subs, etc) will be served in the cafeteria at no cost for students. Students are permitted to bring bag lunches.
Parents are encouraged to attend the closing ceremony at 3:15 in the Earl Taylor Performing Arts Center to allow students to share their work and receive certificates. Students will be dismissed at the conclusion of the ceremony.

January Paint Out... FUN INDOORS!

The light was flat... rain was coming... OOPS members opted for an inside setting and decided to save Coastal Carolina Community College for another day. We headed across the street to Bernie's store and set up a still life in the garage. Some painted the still life while others painted artists painting... see Stephen's painting above of Dean and Bernie painting their hearts out. After the paint out... most members went to CiCi's for pizza, critiques, and camaraderie.

Members present LtoR: Dean, Bernie, Mitchell, Kathi, Stephen, Amanda, Donna, and Patsy. Karen dropped by for a visit and took the photo... she's included in the group shot below.



Patsy... what a smile!

Kathi and her daughter... our newest member... Amanda.
Stephen painting his masterpiece pictured at the top of this post.

Thanks everyone for making our group and adventures a success... here's to another GREAT year!

February Paint Out was a BLAST...

Our February 10th "Paint Out" at the Faulkner Estate was a BLAST! We were blessed with beautiful weather, an awesome location, great fellowship, and true southern hospitality by the owners, Matt and Julie. They not only provided a place to paint but provided refreshments... super people!
~
Thanks Matt and Julie... you definitely SPOILED us!
~

Left to right: Matt and Julie (estate owners), Mitchell, Donna G., Stephen, Patsy, and Bernie.
~
The only thing that we had to deal with was the WIND!... Gusting at times at 40 MPH. At one point... A page from Pat's sketch book went flying into the waterway... Bernie's painting blew of his easel and hit Karen in the head... Dean had at least 5 bugs imbedded in his painting... Donna's palette blew and stuck to her painting... Kathi had to move inside because the pastel chalk was blowing off her painting as fast as she could put it on... and... saving the best for last... Stephen did a backwards flip as his chair legs sank in the mud!
~
We had a GREAT turnout... Many of Matt and Julie's friends dropped by. Patty, Dean's wife, joined us and even took this photo for us. Here are the member's that came...
~
OOPS members left to right: Earl (Donna had to work), Kathi, Stephen, Patsy, Mitchell, Donna, Pat, Ellen, Dean (the tall one), Karen, and Bernie.
~
After painting, many of us went for dinner at The Red Barn. We had a great supper and discussed our paintings, sharing some great insights and techniques.

Awesome site for Feb. 10th, 2008 "Paint Out" at Faulkner Estate.

WHAT: OOPS February "Paint Out"

WHEN: Sunday, February 10, 2008 at 1:00 PM

WHERE: Faulkner Estate, Queens Creek Community (see map and directions below)

WHY: Because we love to gather and plein air paint!

WHAT ELSE: Dutch treat dinner at the Red Barn afterward where we fellowship and discuss the works (optional).

Mitchell has lined up an awesome site for our Feb 10th "Paint Out"... The Faulkner Estate in the Queens Creek Community. The estate is set along the Intra-coastal Waterway and offers many varied painting opportunities like... marsh scenes, boats, docks, palm trees, the estate, etc. To top that... we have access to this boat house to paint from if the weather is harsh. WOW!

A special thanks to the Faulkner's letting us paint on their lovely estate and a hat tip to Mitchell for organizing everything.

Various scenes from the Boat House...


I edited Donna's map from last month since the "Paint Out" is in the same vicinity of last month's outing.... only difference... follow the RED arrows. The estate is very near the Red Barn where we ate last month (and plan to eat again this month). You turn to the left just before you reach the Red Barn (look for our OOPS sign) and the estate is about 300 yards on the right. I have included a photo of the entrance at the bottom so you'll know you have found the right spot.

Click map to enlarge...

Entrance to the Faulkner Estate where we will paint on February 10th. This entrance is between two estates with white fences (on the right).... very easy to pick out!
