We have a cabin on a small lake and I’m now envisioning (at least) several days dedicated to making art with friends this summer. No kids, no chores, just a paintbrush, a walk in the woods, some time by the water, phenomenal sunsets, and some nourishing and delicious food. Your inspiration is very much appreciated!

It would be a real gift to be able to have a solid block of time to dedicate to creating. I’m so glad you took that opportunity!

HI Di: It sounds like a wonderful plan. You paint a clear picture with your words and I already felt like I got to go with you! I’m so happy you are carving this space for yourself. One thing I would say is that many residencies you apply for don’t charge anything. I don’t have much experience at all with applying to be clear, but I know artist friends have done longer residencies where they have applied and the cost is just in getting to the destination and your groceries and such. It sounds like your plan fits you perfectly though, which is the most important part. Cheers!

Hi Pauline: I just love reading all these stories of folks making their own art retreats, workshops and residencies. Art is for everyone. Thanks for opening your hobby shed to others! xo

I’m so glad to hear about your experience, it sounds restorative! Twice a year, my dear friend & I meet up for a creative getaway overnight where we do 3 or 4 creative nature themed projects for the whole evening in the hotel, as well as nature walks for inspiration! I never really knew what to call it, but I think we can consider it an artist residency! It’s truly delightful! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, a friend of mine was so intrigued with all the paints ,crafts and painting books I had in my hobby shed as I call it ,that she said she would love to do some painting and so last summer we did just that, we both enjoyed the therapeutic side to it. So going to take your inspiration and do more this summer with friends.

Love your floral watercolours.
