House with Flowers in Haute de Cagnes An Invitation To Painters

Open your atlas and trace your finger along the Mediterranean Coast of France just west of the Italian border and you find the Côte d’Azur also known as the French Riviera. Along this special stretch of coastline you find the famous place names of Antibes, Nice, St. Paul and Cannes. The Alpes-Maritime mountains form a backdrop to the coast. Hidden away along the sinuous mountain roads, the villages of Provence hang on the cliffs revealing themselves to those who venture from the seaside. Somewhere between the mountains and the azure sea you find yourself in the town of Vence. It is from here that artist are invited to join Don Lake to paint and explore the medieval villages of this unique corner of Europe. Not only will you paint these special sites but you will have the opportunity to visit the homes and places of work of such famous artists as Picasso, Matisse, Dufy, Modigliani and Chagall. During this adventure you will paint in Renoir’s garden.

St Paul de Vence  
An Invitation To Friends and Family

Non - Painters, families and friends are invited to share in this exciting experience and to enjoy the area swimming, diving, sight-seeing, shopping or just relaxing in the sun. Vence is a lovely, unhurried town with easy public transportation connections to Nice and all of the surrounding small villages. Non-painters are invited to travel with the painters to each site. They will be given assistance in planning daily excursions at the painting sites or to other villages in the area. Many extra activities are planned for non-painters to enhance their enjoyment of the area while the painters are busy creating.
