Hi all. I am new to Travelscapers and don’t quite know what I am doing but here goes my first blog on this site (hopefully). I have been painting and tutoring art for more years than I care to remember and last June I joined up with my good friend Jeff whom I have known since my schooldays, to supply an art holiday course in Kefalonia, Greece. Jeff is about to retire to Kefalonia after holidaying there for over 25 years, so he is my main man in Greece. You can access the course information by visiting www.artholistay.co.uk/
I have to admit that this year was just a tester to see how successful it was and although the group that holidayed with us was fairly small, the holiday itself was a resounding success. The mature students that came had a fantastic time (as you can judge for yourselves on the website in the revue page, plus the photographs taken from the holiday). We are having another on next June, 2011 and the booking dates are as follows. I’ll keep you posted!

Gavin, I enjoyed reading about your classes in Greece. I will gladly forward the information along to the members of my art associaiton.
I look forward to reading further posts regarding your art travels.
Best wishes, Pamela Allegretto
Thanks for the comments Pamela. I looked at your work and really like the bright, jolly colours. Made me smile. I noticed a few dancy ones. I am presently working on a series of street and other dance images. I will put one in my next blog for you to look at. Gav
