Our second annual "art retreat" at whistler

last week eight of us collected at my place at whistler for an inspired three days of painting, eating, socializing, eating, drinking wine , painting and more eating.....

the "janice robertson alumni" group came up once again  for a very fun session... inclement weather so we converted the garage into an art studio... skis, tires, and all!

our great gang!

we all just painted away working on different things... I polished this older "glacier" piece...

and started another Blackcomb hiking piece...

just for something different... a few of us set up an orange gerber still life arrangement and did a quick study : what fun to see everyone's different take.... mine is on the far right below...  who knew that a blue tarp could drive such a composition!

great conversation, great company and great inspiration...we are vowing to paint together again!
