Dixieland Delight... Indoors for our January Paint Out!

The Onslow Outdoor Painters Society (OOPS) enjoyed the comfort and WARMTH of the indoor studio as they opted for a new January paint out tradition... an indoor life class. This years model was Jeremy a Civil War reenactor posing in his authentic Confederate uniform with accoutrement's. Thanks Jeremy for such an AWESOME job modeling for us! 9 OOPS artists (Dean, Stephen, Pat B., Cass, Sherry, Mitchell, Bernie, Tom and our newest member, Ann, from Wilmington) attended the life class and are featured in the video below.... January 10, 2010.

This original oil painting study "The Collin's Barn" by American Artist, Bernie Rosage Jr. is available for purchase at my etsy.com store.

The subject for this painting is from an old photo taken some years back of the Collin's old pack house... the barn is being claimed by mother nature and neglect now and is only a remnant of what we see here. I have painted this old barn several times... it is located on the road I grew up on. The other special thing about this painting is that it was painted as a demonstration for Mrs Nickle's 8th grade art class at New Bridge Middle School in Jacksonville, NC. I occasionally do these art demos to help promote the arts to young minds and artists. The class was very receptive and asked some great questions.... check out the video below to get a glimpse of the cool day I had yesterday...

THIS JUST IN... Bernie launches Art Affiliate Program...

If you are an art collector... Thank you! What would the art world be like without you? Our museums and galleries would be empty, artists would lose a platform to grow from, and all our lives would have less meaning.

A special thank you to all the patrons who have purchased my work over the past several years... you have been a blessing to me and I want to return that blessing to you through my Art Affiliate program.

The program is designed for my art collectors and braggarts who want to make $$$ by referring my available paintings to their friends, family, and acquaintances as potential patrons… does this sound like something you would be interested in?…

Thank you sincerely... Bernie

My little art buddy calls it a night... this is priceless!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone...

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~W.T. Purkiser
