We need OOPS members to be thinking about locations for our paint outs. December is locked in but November and all of 2009 are open for suggestions.
If you would like we can set January and February as indoor sittings where we paint a still life or model from life... an idea for those who don't wish to battle the cold weather.
If you are interested in picking a location click HERE and sign up...

October Paint Out is FREE and is NOT a competition...
Seems there is some confusion... I have received a few emails from members thinking the October Paint Out set for the October 26th in Surf City requires a $25 entry fee and is a plein air competition... our October Paint Out is FREE and is NOT a competition. Our paint out is in conjunction (after) with the Surf City Artists Guild event for those wishing to participate.

Our paint out will run as normal...
WHAT: OOPS October"Paint Out"
WHEN: Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 1:00 PM

Dean was NOT plein air painting last Sunday...
Here's proof that Dean was NOT plein air painting last Sunday...
In fact... he rode 21 miles on a unicycle for the "Family Ride to the Sea" fun day... I snapped these photos as he passed my house.
I think I would have opted to paint....

Dean, Bernie, and Mitchell take part in IPAP Worldwide Paint Out...
The Three Plein Air Musketeers (Dean, Bernie, and Mitchell) headed to New Bern on the heels of tropical storm Hanna. After the storm... sky's were clear... plein air fever set in... and we were off and arrived in New Bern about 2:45 PM on Saturday the 6th. We set up near Christ's Church on Pollock Street and painted till almost dark. We all managed to get two paintings in each as Penny cheered us on!
Finished works to come soon...
Sunday morning (the 7th)... I met Susan, John, Art, and several other artists at the Gazebo at Union Point Park at 9:00 AM. Susan had the event perfectly organized... had us sign in and gave us maps of the New Bern downtown area. Each artist went their own way and I opted for more architecture in beautiful downtown New Bern while most of the other artists painted along the waterfront. Mitchell joined me around 10:30 AM accompanied by Penny and we both painted two more works a piece... leaving around 5:00 PM.
Finished paintings coming soon...
All-in-all... a GREAT weekend... a PERFECT location... nice people... Great weather and Light! Artists from Onslow County (OOPS), New Bern (Twin River Artist Association), Oriental, and Little Washington made the event a success! We look forward to gathering again next year... if not sooner!
We hope to highlight everyone's work on this blog asap...
Bernie
PS... Mark your calendar for October 18 - 19, 2008 for the First Annual Oriental Plein Air Paint Out Competition... I'll post the details when I get them from Susan.

Worldwide Paint Out and Hanna will bring out the plein air DIEHARDS!
Tropical storm Hanna may make Saturday's Worldwide Plein Air Paint Out a bit challenging. She is projected (at this point) to be out of here by Saturday afternoon. Sunday will hopefully be PRIMO! Hopefully she will turn out to sea and both days will be PRIMO! The OAS Artists reception has been canceled for Sunday at the Council for the Arts so that gives most of us a full day to paint. See you diehards on Saturday... Maybe we can at least have a BIG turn out on Sunday... be careful everyone!Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Dear OOPS artists and any artist in the Eastern North Carolina area...
Please join us in beautiful Downtown New Bern, North Carolina on Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7, 2008 to do our part in promoting plein air painting worldwide. These two dates will coincide with the dates set by the IPAP and we have the honor of sharing this experience with our plein air buddies from Oriental and Washington, NC. We decided on New Bern for it's historical significance, southern charm and beauty plus the fact it is centrally located for the three groups. We extend an invitation to our friends in the Greenville plein air group and any artist wishing to join in on the fun... all mediums and skill levels welcome.
Be sure to go to this link and register... http://ipap.homestead.com/Feedback_Form.html
Saturday, September 5, 2008. (9AM ~ Until)
The plan is to meet at Union Point Park (Downtown New Bern along the waterfront) at 9:00 AM and then plan out the day. The Park address is 210 E. Front Street, plan to meet near the Gazebo to pick up scenic location map. We can scatter out and paint throughout the waterfront or downtown area... everything is within close proximity and one can easily get around by foot or car. There are plenty of cafes, etc... to grab a bite to eat.
Sunday, September 6, 2008. (9AM ~ Until)
The plan for Sunday is to meet again at Union Point Park... Park address is 210 E. Front Street, meet near the Gazebo to pick up scenic location map. Once again... you have the option to scatter and paint where you would like as this area is also close to the historiacl downtown area of New Bern. We are starting early because most of the OOPS artists from Onslow County have to be back in Jacksonville for an artists reception at the Council for the Arts and the OAS Images Show... this gives the OOPS bunch from 8AM until about 1PM to paint.
We look forward to the camaraderie we will share and the special honor of keeping the tradition of painting "En Plein Aire" alive. Once the event is over... we can gather (through email) images of all the paintings for an online exhibit to be hosted on this site.
A special thank you to Susan Cheatham for organizing the times and locations!
Please click here to comment and let us know your name, location, and what days and times you plan to paint.
This will serve as our September Piant Out for the OOPS members... make plans to attend.
Hope to see everyone there!
Thanks in advance....
