Another great day was had by all at the annual Nantucket beach art competition. Some of the designs included a mermaid, an octopus, sharks, feet in beach flip flop sandals, alligators, a bedraggled female surfer and a huge grinning face.

Nantucket Beach Art
Nantucket resident Artist Gail Sharretts is running an 8 day workshop of intensive study and painting en plein air in coastal France in the Fall of 2010.
This workshop is for those who would like to become more interpretive with their work through the medium of landscape painting and through various methods of abstraction. Beginning and more experienced painters are both welcome. The course will progress in terms of the individual needs of each student. Instruction will take place for three hours each morning for six days. Afternoons and evenings will be dedicated to one’s own study and exploration. Individual and group critiques will be offered as the course progresses. Cost includes accommodations and meals at our beautiful renovated stone farmhouse in the Brittany countryside and tours of the area. This is an opportunity to experience France as more than a tourist, to discover its beauty, history and culture in an authentic way.
Please visit the link to find out more about the Brittany workshops.
