Painting Retreats Summer 2010

Location: Bloomin' Inn Ranch

Instructor: Nancy-lynne Hughes

Enjoy a beautiful country setting with homegrown, homemade meals, and the finest of western hospitality at the Bloomin' Inn Bed & Breakfast just east of Pincher Creek, Alberta only two hours south of Calgary.

Immerse yourself in painting!  These painting retreats offer the best of instruction complemented by a most creative place to work.  Build your painting inventory, work on ‘fine tuning' personal style, fill the creative well AND have a great holiday.   Choose your painting subject from the many gardens; create a still life, tackle the vast landscape, or take on the ‘wildlife' (the cows, sheep, chickens, turkeys and geese) - it is a working ranch after all.

Instructional lectures, personal painting critiques and some painting demonstration make this a rich experience. You will have abundant painting time and you may choose to paint indoors or out.  The studio is open 24 hours a day!   Your creativity will flourish in the inspirational surroundings and you will not want to miss the opportunities to stock up on reference material, so don't forget your camera!

Join workshop facilitator/instructor:  Nancy-lynne Hughes and create wonderful memories and paintings!

Energy Treatment: If you are feeling tired, disconnected or drained of energy you may wish to pamper yourself with an energy bodywork treatment.  Energy bodywork is a gentle energetic healing process that promotes balancing and clearing of blocked energy centers, pathways and channels.    Experienced therapist Gwen Ritch of Yoga Kinetics will be offering treatments during the retreat so let us know if you are interested in having a wonderful, gentle revitalizing treatment during your stay.

Massage Therapy: Also available is a wonderful massage therapist.  Simone offers relaxation and therapeutic massage treatments that will take all the built up stress away and leave you refreshed, relaxed and receptive to painting!

Please let us know if you are interested in either of these treatments and we can schedule them in during your stay at the ranch.  You will pay the practitioner at the time of your treatment.

Note: All workshop prices are based on camp-style (shared) accommodation.  If you require a separate room or if you are bringing a spouse or partner please let us know your accommodation needs when you are booking.
