 The painting adventure on Milos will take our senses by storm on the 7th - 14th May 2019 The coves, caves and colours are unique - I can't wait!! Milos is the island where the famous Venus de Milo was discovered; this article will whet your appetite and your imagination! https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/milos-greece Our hosts will be the team from Salinara Sicily, well experienced in running painting holidays in Sicily and Greece. They will organise our accommodation, breakfasts and dinners. Anyone who has been to their Salinara retreats knows the love and care they lavish on their food! We will make our own choices for lunch from the wealth of cafes and restaurants on location. They will also provide transport to and from Milos airport and to our daily outings and be on hand for any requirements we may have. We leave - sadly, I'm sure - in the morning of the 14th and fly back to Athens. Flights are not included in the painting holiday price (see the brochure below) Overnight stays in Athens are also not included. From Malta, we will fly to Athens on Aegean Airways on the 5th May, stay for two nights in local BnB's. Here are some recommendations I have gathered.... The Art Gallery Hotel* Hotel Phidias** ApolloHotel*** For more choices, go to www.booking.com or www.tripadvisor.com and type in "Athens" - you'll find a whole range of hotels. In Athens itself we can meet up on Sunday 6th for some sightseeing and sketching On the morning of the 7th we fly down to Milos from Athens. There are two airlines for this, both with similar times and prices Sky Express and Olympic Air Returning to Athens in the morning of the 14th, we will have another day and night in Athens before flying back to Malta on the 15th. Another option would be to extend your holiday to two weeks and fly with RyanAir, who only fly to Athens on Saturdays.  Every day of the glorious week in Milos we will explore this fabulous gem in the Aegean Sea, painting in the mornings and relaxing, sightseeing or sketching in the afternoons. As any of my students will testify, my classes are relaxed and fun but packed with information and practical advice geared to the scene and the students' abilities. I like to 'play it by ear' rather than impose a set itinerary. I want to help everyone feel that they have learnt some practical skills and captured the scene in their own way. I also like to encourage new ways of working, using found objects and unusual ways of making marks. On this holiday I intend to emphasise composition and interesting ways of seeing reality differently. We are artists, after all!! All levels of expertise are very welcome I will be sending a list of recommended materials when you book, but your personal favourites are always good to work with. The price of the painting holiday does NOT include your flights Athens - Milos, or overnight accommodation in Athens 5th,6th and 14th May For more details of the painting holiday please see the brochure below Do contact me about the painting aspects.....

The only way I can paint or draw really quickly and accurately at live events is to have complete confidence in my knowledge of the human form and how it moves. My years of studying in life classes have given me a solid feeling for anatomy and a connection to the way we humans fill space. I love working with models, male and female. Human beings are all beautiful, miraculous and unique. It’s a privilege to be able to spend time studying someone’s unique body shape and simply be allowed to stare at them without embarrassment or misinterpretation.
For the last year or so I have been working on a collection of drawings and paintings called ‘Fifty Shades of Grey Nudes’. To see the works so far please visit my Fifty Shades of Grey Nudes site. Here are some of the latest works, which have not been added to the website yet. I would like to exhibit them to coincide with the premier of the film in Malta, but we’ll see what happens.
