Amalfi  - SOLD OUT - waiting  list    The Drama of the Amalfi Coast      June 20 - 28, 2008

In this spectacular location, where the sky meets the sea, we are hosting our 7th plein air painting workshop.  The beautiful Amalfi Coast, a World Heritage Site is located about 1 hour south of Naples. These vistas are unique and present Italy at its exciting and inspiring best!  

Celebrated and beautifully preserved ancient villages spill down sheer cliffs to the azure sea. It is the perfect venue for a painter!  The coastal road passes through the enchanting towns of Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello and to further beguile us - off in the distance - is the island of Capri, once home to the Emperors. You'll hear the sirens and the muses call.
