Hangin' / Workin' Artcation

I've got a few days of vacation this week, which I refer to as "Artcation" because I use the time to work on art projects, but also hang and relax a little. My new reclining chair is key on the relaxation front. It feels like you're floating on a cloud...

  

This wine, Rex Goliath Pinot Noir, is my summer find and a new favorite. Oddly it's so cheap, yet it doesn't taste cheap. It's light, smooth, and delicioso. I think I'll be sipping a glass or two in the evenings...  

And I'm re-watching this film, Downtown 81, about and starring Jean-Michel Basquiat as himself. It's a little cheesy and homespun, but so inspiring, and I find it fascinating to watch him. You can watch the entire film of YouTube. I love the soundtrack too. Check out this tune, Palabras Con Ritmo by Coati Mundi Hernandez.  

Artcation Idea #1 - Art camp for adults

With summer on the horizon, I start thinking about ideas for my summer Artcation. This art camp for adults sounds pretty ideal. Problem? It exists only in my imagination...

Each camper is housed in their own spacious, contemporary barn-style structure, which has as a large studio and a small living area with a bed, bathroom, and kitchen...

Within your barn studio is a huge closet, stocked with every art supply you can think of.  Just imagine your favorite art store as your closet... 

The grounds are lush, quiet, and peaceful. If you need a break to clear your head, you can hike, swim, or a go for a lazy canoe ride... 

Your meals, coffee, and snacks are delivered to your studio at any time of day or night. Or, if you prefer company, you can dine in the mess hall... 

I actually did some research last year to see if something like this exists and couldn't find anything. Perhaps someone who really knows how to make these sorts of things spring to life can make it a reality. 

Anyone?
