Yes, the dates are set for 2016! The incomparable Maggie Siner will be teaching her landscape workshop in Provence this summer from July 2 to July 9. It's a perfect time of the year in Provence. We will visit perched villages, lavender fields, vineyards, and wheat fields. Maybe even an ochre quarry. In short, we will see and be challenged by all that Provence has to offer.
Maggie lived in the Luberon area of Provence for a number of years, and she brings an insider's knowledge of the land and its conditions. If there is a strong wind from the north, Maggie knows a spot where we can paint and be sheltered from the gusts. She has scoped out the best places to take us
for the lessons she will impart--how to see color and light, how to simplify the near and far of the landscape, and how to create atmospheric truth in our paintings. I always feel that this week of intense instruction helps take my paintings to the next level. |

You can read all about the workshop here. I am excited to be serving as Maggie's Trip Coordinator this year, and I would be happy to answer any of your questions. I will close with some of Maggie's paintings from last year. Truly inspiring!
