Location: Ft. Myers Beach (Lover’s Key), Florida
Cost for Art Instruction: $350 Optional Captiva Cruise: $50

The Florida colors of sun, sand and surf will be the fabulous inspirations for watercolor artists during my 2008 "Travel and Paint" workshops! I am planning a low key, high key experience with one week in Islamorada in the Florida Keys and a second week on the Southwest Florida Coast at Lover’s Key near Fort Myers Beach! Choose both workshops and you will have double the painting fun!

Artists may sign up for one or both workshops as each session will be back-to-back weeks in January/February, 2008. Artists will make their own travel, hotel and ground transportation arrangements (see attached recommendations) either driving or flying so you may suit yourself, bring family or friends and plan either an extended stay or a short painting trip! Airports are available in both Marathon (in the keys) and Ft. Myers.

The first workshop will be five days of "Low Key (as in laid-back old Florida) style" in Islamorada. Working from headquarters at the Coral Bay Resort on Florida Bay, we shall work outside at various locations painting landscapes and seascapes filled with the flowers and wildlife of the area. Side trips will include a visit to Worldwide Sportsman and their beautiful marina, the Redbone Gallery and Key West! Charter boats, kayaking, fishing and snorkel trips abound for your non-painting times. Cook in your full-kitchen efficiency or eat out in the many award-winning restaurants.

The second workshop will be five days of "High Key (as in fabulous high-rise condo) style" at Lover’s Key Resort near a wildlife refuge and gorgeous sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Side trips here will include a visit to the J. N. "Ding" Darling wildlife refuge at Sanibel Island, a shopping/gallery experience in Naples and a visit to the Naples Museum of Art!
