Want to go to Italy for a week this summer?

Painting/Photography: Intuitive Italy Workshop

Would you love to travel to the breathtaking region of Umbria in Italy with two artists who know the region well?  Isn’t it time to treat yourself to a week of fun, adventure and inspiration?

I’m teaming up with painter Linda Richichi in a workshop that uses the strengths of our two media to lead you on a quest to find and express the image underlying the image, the idea that gives spirit and animation to your personal vision.

Through meditation, journallling and daily exercises, painters and photographers will be able to enhance their vision and their technique, explore their personal symbolism to inform their images, giving them greater weight and meaning. You can paint, you can photograph, you can do both. 

The workshop runs June 30 - July 7, 2012 starting 10 a.m. in Orvieto on June 30.  The price -- $2475-- is all-inclusive (except airfare), double occupancy.  It covers transportation during the week, lodging, all meals, house wine during dinner, admission fees, instruction, a wine tasting, and a cooking lesson.

We will take our time, slow down and savor life during this special week, exploring the countryside as well as such beautiful Umbrian towns as Orvieto, Todi, Assisi, DeRuta, Perugia, and Spoleto.  We will be staying at the Villa Alla Collina.  Only 8 km from the beautiful hill town of Todi, Alla Collina is bellissima: luxurious but without any stiff formality, offering  every comfort, a glorious swimming pool and fabulous views. The house is private and peaceful with splendid local walks.
