This time next week, I will be painting with a group in Olhoa, Portugal. http://www.artinthealgarve.com
The school is beautiful with two lovely internal courtyards….In this photograph I am looking down into one of the courtyards through the 150 year old olive tree….
Once delivered to the School from Faro airport, just a twenty minute drive away, it is not necessary to get into a car again until departure. The only vehicle I am happy to use during the week is the boat that takes us out to one of the lovely outer islands.
The dining area in the main school….the food is superb, all provided by Margarida a wonderful cook.
It’s one of the more conducive places I have encountered to explore the creative process…..The weather is invariably lovely but should rain come…there is a superb studio.
I am quite sure that the magical Hummingbirds will be with us all the way….as they were last year.

What a lovely place to be painting, and I can see the light is just perfect for you. I would wilt in the heat but many people, I know, are made of sterner stuff than me. Look forward to seeing more of your work
I am like you in that I don’t like it at all when too hot. This time of year it’s not too bad, and yes a lovely place to paint. Still loving the book:)
Hope you have a lovely trip and wonderful painting sessions.
Thank you, Mary 🙂
