This is the first group of painters to come and spend a theme holiday here at Hotel Bandolero (standing in front of the view); they were from Scotland. Nicky, third from the right, organised the whole thing. It was quite a good practise preparing for the the bigger group that came in the first week of October. This group spent seven nights with us. It was quite good fun actually. It was nice to have group business, something we are really striving for now. Nicky's business is called ArtEscapes.... and her painter/students are typically retired seniors enjoying life. This group has been with her before and no doubt will be with her again in the future.
I hope she comes again; although she did not have as many participants as she was hoping for, she came anyway, hoping to build momentum for the coming year. The group was very happy with everything.... I think they got more than they expected. They even gave us a couple of their pieces when they left.
