Ernie Marjoram’s Painting Workshop in Italy Los Angeles based fine artist Ernie Marjoram is organizing a 12 day painting workshop in central Italy for artists of all skill levels. Ernie has lived in Florence and returns every year to draw and paint on location. Over 50 of his paintings were featured in his recent solo exhibition “Bell’ Italia” at the Ebell Club of Los Angeles. The tour itinerary will include Ernie’s favorite painting spots in Tuscany including Florence and Siena. Transportation and lodging has been arranged by veteran travel agents Henry and Roberta Kritzia of Personalized Travel. “All three of us speak Italian and know the territory so participants won’t have to worry about the language or getting lost and can focus on their art” said the artist. “This will be a great way to get to know Italy”. The tour is scheduled from June 30 to July 11, 2008. To request a brochure on the trip call Ernie at (323) 939 7690 or visit www.erniemarjoram.com or www.artistravel.com for more information.
