Workshop at the Contessa's Vineyard 2008! Photos of June 2008 Plein Air Painting Workshop in Tuscany lead by Karen Hagan and Hilarie Lambert at The Contessa's Vineyard in the Chianti Hills. Get info on next year's Tuscan workshop Notes about 2008 Trip from Karen: Truly a most wonderful group of hardworking painters - this was a stunning year to be immersed in the Tuscan countryside. Our Chef's Kevin and Linda, prepared for us the most glorious food ever imaginable. As always, I am inspired that I can learn to cook when I return. The painting sites were exquisite, and the poppies, they were out in their full glory this year (a little unusual, but welcome treat). I could have stayed for months. and will relive this feeling as I work in my Charleston studio from my photos. Hope you enjoy the pictures below! Tutto l'amore, Karen |
