April Snow in the Finger Lakes

I love Spring in the Finger Lakes of New York State! We have an old fashioned lilac bush behind our home which is beginning to bloom. I am so excited to paint some watercolors of the gorgeous flowers. This morning, we awoke to big flakes of snow coming down and I grabbed my camera to take some photos... Aren't they so pretty with the pure snow lying upon the leaves and blooms?  




This was one of those times when nature gives us only a few moments to respond... following our intuition can be learned... listening to that little voice inside that says "this is important - do this now!" 


I am so glad I listened and took these photos. By this afternoon, the sun was shining and the snow was gone. (really glad about that!) but I loved the photos! 


Enjoy the moments in your day and listen to your intuition!

Wings and Watercolor Workshops for Women in the Finger Lakes

When I allow myself to experience the gifts that I am given each day, I meet people and new ideas are generated! At "Grandma Hatties Tea Party" I met the most creative and kind woman... Eileen Cash who is the Innkeeper/Owner of Springdale Farm Bed and Breakfast.  We met for an afternoon and she showed me around her beautiful B&B which happens to be only minutes from my art studio!


The thought came to us to develop a "Women's Creative Getaway in the FingerLakes!" There happens to be a 40 acre Blue Bird Nature Preserve just across the street and so the name....was born.


When women come together to discover or rediscover creativity, amazing things happen!!!


This package is designed for Mothers and Daughters, Sisters, Women friends, and Groups of Women to play and experience painting in watercolor in a beautiful country setting.  No previous art experience is necessary!!!! We start with the basics and just have FUN!

Your package will include a 2 hour class by artist Cindy Altmire Harris who will encourage you to "let go" and be free of past thoughts about art and have fun creating... together. All materials and supplies will be provided and each participant will go home with a framed watercolor to remember and celebrate the experience.


Package Includes:
Starting at $175.00 per guest per night.
Group rates are available for 4 or more guests.
Available: Monday, February 15, 2010 - Saturday, January 01, 2011

I really hope you pass this along to anyone that could benefit from it. We are all living in a world where stress and fear are around us and by choosing peace and serenity, we grow stronger and happier... together.
