David Dunlop, a modern day old master, was teaching another workshop for us this past July. It is always a joy to have David here. His enthusiasm for painting and painting history is contagious!

The week was a trifle hot, as it has been for most of the summer, but the group was able to find painting locations that were surprisingly protected from the heat – in the shade of tree, by the water, or up the mountains.

The first day they all went to Minekill State Park, which is about 45 minutes from our inn, but through some beautiful and inspiring farm country.

It’s always nice when the park has picnic tables in the shade!

This is a shot of one of the many interesting barns I passed on the way back form the park.

Another day was spent at Olana, always a favorite.

David will be returning to teach another wonderful workshop in 2014.
