I believe creativity is as essential to us as the air we breathe and together we can liberate that creative spark that’s trapped within. My painting workshops offer a deeply nourishing experience that gives you permission to loosen up, embrace colour and express your creative voice. Join me in the beautiful Provencal countryside for a creative journey to explore your inner artist. Here is an opportunity to create a beautiful acrylic painting for your home. With emphasis on exploring the creative use of colour, this acrylic painting workshop teaches you the fundamentals of composition, texture, and content. My goal is to support you in the completion of one small painting from start to finish. You will apply heavy body paints, create texture, and learn how to add depth and dimension to your artwork. The workshop allows for ample painting time and the opportunity to explore your creative freedom. ​ Experimentation, risk-taking, spontaneity and expression will be encouraged.

Toulon is the capital of Var. Its importance as a central port city for the Mediterranean coast was known back in the Roman Empire. Toulon is a permanent base for the French Navy, and the largest military port in France today, including the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. Toulon also served Napoleon as the port from which he embarked on his journey to Egypt. Josephine climbed the Royal Tower and waved goodbye to her husband to make sure he did indeed leave. We will walk along the port dock, discuss the history of the city, look at the famous statues in front of the town hall. We will then cut into the old city and famous Provencal market and explore some of the local specialties. We will continue into the heart of the old city, looking at houses, fountains, telling stories, and presenting the previously vibrant figures of Toulon. We will finish up with Navy base and the National Museum of Marine.

Not many people know about the old medieval village of Ollioules and even less know that from the village there is direct access to the fabulous ridge of the Gros Cerveau mountains (Big Brain). Only locals know the trails. We will start with a visit to the old medieval village penetrating the small alleyways discussing the glorious history of Ollioules. We will observe houses, fountains, olive oil mills, and time permitting - a quick visit to the 130 year old nugat factory! Every corner is photo op. A vertiable village in provence experience, far far from the tourist trail. We will start to climb slowly up to the old chateau where glorious views of the bay below will mesmerize us. We will continue climbing up and taking an old well marked trail to the plateau of Gros Cerveau. From there we have incredible views of old fortresses, the gorges of Ollioules and the entire bay of Toulon. Must see. Not in any guidebook.

An incredible tour which starts at a near by, little known medieval village full of history, Napoleon and charm. We follow an ancient road through the mighty Gorges of Olllioules to our next destination, Le Castellet. Immediately we are surrounded by the famous vineyards of Bandol wine appellation, and, as if we are in a road trip movie, we zig zag through typical bright Provencal country side. We do an obligatory stop to sample some of these great wines, while learning and understanding what makes the grape varieties here so special. We carry on to Le Castellet and its famous castle where we will visit esoteric shops, winding streets, and have a 360 degree view of vineyards, mountains, and the sea. An incredible location at the heart of the Var district of Provence. This is off-beaten-path of most tours in Provence. After we had lunch we will carry on to probably the most beautiful and authentic ports in all of Provence, the celebrated Sanary-sur-mer, and I need not say more.

Toulon and its Region. We'll visit one of the best hilltop medieval village: Le Castellet. Popular at the royal court and beyond since the 16th and 17th centuries, Louis XV said these full-bodied reds gave him "vital sap and wits". We'll visit  one estate for tastings in Bandol, one of the oldest appelations in France, cradled in a lush, gorgeous region near Toulon. NB. I do one tour on the morning and one on the afternoon.
