I've been reminiscing over previous trip photos from Italy as we get ready for our June 2017 Venice trip with Patti Mollica.  Every trip holds the most beautiful memories! There is something so magical about combining an art workshop with a vacation.  You get to exercise your painterly muscles in an amazing location learning and growing as an artist AND you get the down time to recoup between sessions while experiencing the culture and joys of where you're at. It's hard to pick a favorite vacation moment.  I for sure love the wine and food of Italy - I mean, you can't beat it!  I'm excited to hear Vivaldi cascading through church steeples and walk through epic museums.  I'm also really excited to paint with Patti - her color palette and canvas movement is so dynamic.  I also just can't wait to let the day unfold as it will.  If you're tired one day you can sit, enjoy a glass of wine and take it all in on your off time - or you can traverse every canal and street to your heart's content.  That's what I really love about our trips - they are artist workshops AND vacations.  Take a peek at some of our past photos!
