Sicily- Taormina Scheduled for Spring 2010 Land of Myth, Folklore & Tradition
Love to paint with other like-minded people? Here's your opportunity to work side-by-side with fellow artists, sharing knowledge, experience, and goodwill.
You'll stay in splendid Taormina, a lovely jewel facing smoldering Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea of Homer and the Cyclops. Enjoy traditional Sicilian cuisine and wines. Come to understand why it is said "Without Sicily, Italy cannot be fully understood. It is here one finds the key to all things" J.W. Goethe
As last season's artists in Sicily noted, "Taormina combines the essence of the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany."
Ancient theaters, temples, mountains and sea, we are very pleased to return to Sicily. We'll paint en plein air in lovely formal gardens and at the seashore, then sketch among the ruins of a Greco-Roman Theatre - all providing wonderful opportunities to experience this intriguing Island.
