I'm looking for some advice/suggestions. I'm an impressionist outdoor painter (oils ) and I'm planning a painter's paradise week with 5 other artist friends for late March, 2025. I've narrowed it down to the South of France (Provence) or Southern Italy or Sicily, because the weather in Paris, Normandy, or Venice will be too iffy.
Last time I was in Provence was 25 years ago and stayed at the Chateau Roussan, just outside of St. Remy. It was fabulous, a painter's dream, but, alas, have closed their doors permanently last year. I'm looking for exciting landscapes and townscaptes and a place to stay with beautiful grounds that would offer some motifs. We will have rented cars to get around, but don't want to travel more than 1/2 hour or so from our hotel or house/villa, where we'll stay.
Below is a sample of one of my paintings, done from my porch at home in Western Massachussetts.
Suggestions anyone ?
