I'm offering a Weekend Art Retreat this summer. Imagine a chunk of concentration with no interruptions! I have a little place in Tonganoxie where Abraham Lincoln once stayed. There are wonderful views for us to paint. We'll be roughing it a bit but there is central air and modern facilities. Sleeping bags will be in order if you catch my drift. Writing classes will be included ~ you just can't sit under that Humongous Maple and not become a Poet.

First Retreat Kids...Friday July 11th Meet at my Studio at 4:30pm to caravan out to the Farm.

We will go to the farm and get settled in. draw in the loft. Talk Art. Saturday morning wake up to a Country breakfast and venture out to start our Plein Air painting on a blanket. Lunch and inspiration time. 7:pm Writing Hour with my son Mike ~ law school grad and English major. Games, obstacle course, bring any musical instruments you play and we'll jam in the pole barn. The fun goes on. Sunday morning after breakfast we'll be putting the finishing touches on our compositions and organize our display. Parents will arrive at 2:00 to view our masterpieces and gather their offspring. Sound like an adventure?
