Greece 2010
In 2000 I had the opportunity to work with Christopher Forsey in Greece tutoring painting holidays run by the Peligoni Club. Chris and I have just returned from Zakynthos having spent three weeks there, working with two groups of aspiring artists and enjoying the benefits of having worked with the local people and acquired locations on the same island for 9 years.
Joining us for the second year as 'Greek Panorama' was Annie Sturgeon who raised the bar of painting holiday by value adding with Bird Watching.... I will not bore you with the number of delightful birds we spotted with aide of her enthusiastic eye, but if you think of coming to Greece with us to join in with a painting holiday -you may want to pack a pair of binoculars. Another member of the group was a wild a flower expert, so grew the layers of interest.
We always save the 'shall we do it next year' discussion until the flight home. It was a no-brainer this year. The help we had from Stephanos, Mimis and Roula ( accommodation) and the food provided by the local restaurants, and the boat trip to the blue caves, and the sunset at the lighthouse, and the swimming round the island, the meal at Sophia's new restaurant........... And it would be our tenth year next time. - Fancy a trip to Greece for a painting holiday?
