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 |
