It was a wonderful conference. If you are thinking of setting something like this up in your area, here is a daily events schedule you might get some ideas from.
Thursday July 8, 2002

Linda
Deb
Carly
Marsha
Phy...llis

Linda, Deb and Phyllis all scout out places to paint on the island. Later that evening Carly and Marsha arrive and we all go out to Sea Island Road to paint. The evening meal was wonderful with all types of deli meats to make sandwiches and wonderful wine to round out a picnic atmosphere.

6:30 and up early to go paint at Village Creek Landing for our sunrise Plein Aire. What a time we had there. I think this was our best group outing with the exception of missing Linda, who had to leave to go to another paint out. We missed you Linda.

12:00 back to the house for lunch and a quick clean up and rest.

2:00 We all took a tour of the studio of Jim Ellison, who is a friend of mine that lives off the island close to Darien, Georgia. He is a member of the Georgia Coastal Artists and we all came home green with envy over his studio space.

4:30 Plein Aire painting on the west marsh. Carly, Ruth, Marsha and Deb all go out to paint the evening sunset over the marshes. Phy...llis stayed home and rested her bones.

Sandy and Cheryl arrive.

7:00 Dinner time was good for everyone. Some ate in and others went to the Red Barn. Cheryl and Sandy both said the Red Barn had the best seafood they had ever eaten.

10:00 Art talk and critique time. We all discovered so much during these times. I would recommend any group doing this whenever the chance arises.
