They are on Facebook too. This is the perfect time to buy a beautiful historic scene of the old church from 1813. If you like helping out with recycling and saving this church would be a great place to give your gift. Buy one of the works OOPS members created. It will be on display until the 1st of January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the OOPS artists could send me a couple of paragraphs on their art and expertise that would be so helpful. We want to let people know more about you for the show."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Send your info to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:sherrythurston@charter.net"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;sherrythurston@charter.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January Paint Out set....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We will have a unique paint out in January... an actual life class in the warm indoors. Mark your 2010 calendar for Sunday January 13, 2010 at 1:00 PM at the Council for the Arts building where we paint a live model. The session will last from 1-4PM and should prove very challenging but rewarding for all levels.

The park is located on 910 Corbin Road. Turn right at Shelter #1 and follow road till it ends at boat ramp. Features: Shelter I is near the Ball Fields, Fitness/Nature Trail, Disc Golf Course, &lt;strong&gt;Boat Access&lt;/strong&gt;, and Restrooms. This spot is a great opportunity for us to capture some fall color with the abundance of hardwood trees around. Also... great views of Northeast Creek. Should offer plenty of fodder for the most discerning painter! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Directions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; On Highway 24 E going towards Camp Lejeune, turn left at the Blockbuster video store onto Corbin Road. Go .25 miles and the shelter #1 will be on the right.

I am still waiting of confirmation of a great spot by the land owner. It's a area in the Pumpkin Center area with beautiful oaks towering over a pond... the colors should be awesome. I'll let you all know asap when confirmed. If this falls through we will paint at the Northeast Creek Boat Access... more pretty trees and water. Again... I'll keep you posted about the location but the date and times are set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bernie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS... remember to set you clocks back one hour this Sunday night at 2AM.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7102948950241862723-2191218680690702774?l=oopsnc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oopsnc.blogspot.com/feeds/2191218680690702774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7102948950241862723&amp;postID=2191218680690702774' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7102948950241862723/posts/default/2191218680690702774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7102948950241862723/posts/default/2191218680690702774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oopsnc.blogspot.com/2009/10/local-plein-air-painting-opportunities.html' title='Local plein air painting opportunities... the next three weekends...'/><author><name>Bernie Rosage Jr.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17629734802282984340</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03088142183510912520'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102948950241862723.post-7995194342018305567</id><published>2009-10-28T12:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T14:39:29.089-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thurston Art Gallery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='October 2009 Paint Out'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='OOPS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yopps Meeting House'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sherry Thurston'/><title type='text'>OOPS Art Show ~ Thurston Art Gallery ~ October 25 thru November 29, 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;
