OOPS... We've made it a whole year!

We've made it a whole year and have had a BLAST... not to mention some GREAT "Paint Outs". The red dots on the map of Onslow County show where we have partied... I mean painted. We have been keeping the tradition of painting "en plein aire" alive and well in Eastern North Carolina.

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

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!

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.

Mitchell and Dean having a good time!

Another great smile... this time it belongs to Donna!

Bernie working on his still life... an old Brownie camera.

Welcome to OOPS Amanda!

.

.

GREAT NEWS... We have six new people expressing an interest to join OOPS... hope to see them at our paint out on February 8th.

.

BTW... Details for the February Paint Out are being worked out as I type... The location will be at a junk yard in the Queens Creek area on the 8th beginning @ 1PM... a map and announcement coming soon... Stay Tuned!

White Oak High School, Piny Green Road 

Onslow All County Art Students Workshop

Great opportunity for newbies to drop and look on as several OOPS artists give a plein workshop to groups of the All County Visual Artists high school students of Onslow County. This is our third year helping these students and promoting plein air painting while giving of our talents and time. We encourage as many OOPS members to join us as possible... the teaching portion will be handled by a select few but all members can help by example and giving individual attention to art students.... whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to be a part of something very rewarding... you will not want to miss this one!  The past events were huge successes!!

Photos from last year's workshop...

Bernie, Mitchell,
Stephen, and Karen

Karen, Stephen, Bernie, and Mitchell gave their time, talent, and Saturday to teach four 1 1/2 hour plein air workshops to the best high school artists of Onslow County. The day was a huge success as over 60 students from 5 county high schools (White Oak, Northside, Swansboro, Dixon, and Southwest) attended the workshop. Their day was divided into four round-robin style workshops which included plein air painting, clay modeling, figure drawing, and visual journaling.

Karen and Bernie with students in the Jacksonville Daily News

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!

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...

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.
