"What a wonderful way to experience new places - leisurely travel with time to paint! My daughter and I loved it."
SD, Louisville, KY

"The trip was obviously thoroughly researched. The barge, which was very comfortable, exceeded my expectations upon arrival. Prof. Fitzpatrick chose many lovely locations for us to paint and held a valuable critique every evening before the awesome gourmet dinners. It was a delightful trip and a memorable experience."

"I really think Joe is very special in his way of teaching, and I value the golden nuggets that he has given me. But most of all, I appreciate his sincere interest in each student, and his willingness to assist them in reaching their goals!"

"As for the barge experiences: What can I say? Both barge trips were fantastic! The people were delightful...The food superb! We were catered to by an extraordinary staff of very talented young people. Our guide on the Marguerite was amazingly well versed in French history. I would not have missed a minute of it."

"What a treat to be fed and waited on with no responsibilities except to go paint and have fun."

"I was in seventh heaven on Joe's painting trip on the MS Lorraine in France this past May. Everything was paid for up front and the crew took care of us so well we didn't have to worry about anything. I was able to leave the rest of the world behind and concentrate on painting! Joe's commentaries and personalised attention during art workshops and outdoor painting sessions, created an atmosphere which made painting the relaxing, inspiring and fulfilling experience it ought to be! And what a delightful group of fellow artists and friends.... Every painter should have this experience at least once in their lifetime!"

Commentaire "Painting Québec".

Pierre et moi avons beaucoup aimé cette semaine. Nous avions l'esprit libre pour dessiner et peindre. Les sites choisis ont stimulé notre créativité.

La présence rassurante et critique du professeur Fitzpatrick a enrichi nos connaissances et notre sens artistique. L'attitude générale du groupe était amicale. L'organisation des activités, repas et horaire nous convenait très bien.

Merci à Joe et à Ruth de nous avoir permis de participer à cet atelier d'automne où même la température fut au rendez-vous.

Renée.

I'm back in the real world, but I wish I could still be painting in Lunenburg. Thank you for organizing and planning such a wonderful trip. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute.
