Newfoundland

This workshop starts by arrival at St. John’s airport where you will be met and transferred by bus around beautiful “Conception Bay” to our location for the next 14 nights. The painting group will enjoy its stay in Harbour Grace at the stately “4-star” ROTHESAY HOUSE INN Bed & Breakfast.

The scenic town of Harbour Grace has a rich history that spans almost 500 years. She is one the largest towns on the Baccalieu Trail and has one of the most well developed harbours on the Avalon Peninsula. The town boasts many sites of cultural and historic interest. The Conception Bay Museum, which is near the recorded site of Pete Easton’s fort, contains a number of exhibits including one on pirates, one on aviation, and one on fishing. Experience Harbour Grace on www.hrgrace.ca.

Over the next two weeks we will find many fine painting subjects, active fishing villages and wonderful geographic features with a splendid variety of wild flowers. The group will take a full day sight seeing trip to St. John’s where you will enjoy one of Canada’s historic cities. To round of the day you will visit the light house at Cape Spear. Other trips will include experience of a lifetime by boat on the Atlantic to view Whales, Eagles and sometimes even Seals and Dolphins.

At this time we book four trips for artists a season. All trips are booked on a first come basis. Trips are two weeks duration and pick up and departure is at the St. John’s Airport on Saturday mornings or early afternoon.
