SCENES from our ART RETREAT in Estes Park

The 4th annual Painted Prism Art Retreat was held in June this year. There were 11 of us in attendance at the beautiful Aspen Falls retreat.



The elk came to visit us every morning . . .




DAY ONE of the retreat was filled with yoga, Maria Sibylla Merian, botanical illustrations, and sharing our writings about our own metamorphoses.
























DAY TWO of the retreat -- yoga in unison, Gustav Klimt, patterns and gold leaf markers, and SNOW in the mountains on the first day of summer!

DAY FOUR. Our last day of the retreat -- morning yoga, Niki de Saint Phalle, Nanas, joyful women, Aquabord, un-painting with Q-tips, pizza and margaritas.

What a wonderful time we all had! It was a beautiful place to be, despite the less-than-perfect weather.

  1. What a fun workshop this looks to have been! My fingers are crossed that we'll also be doing Klimt at the Ohio workshop in September. He is one of my favorite artists, but I've never tried painting anything in his style.
