My second holiday at Val di Pozza and everything has been as perfect; if not better. The combination of great locations, facilities, materials, food, wine, fellowship, weather, wine ensures the best art holiday I have ever enjoyed \u2013 and I\u2019ve been on a lot of art holidays.<\/em>
Jane<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are very few \u2018teachers\u2019 in the world. Chris \u2013 you are one of those \u2018very few\u2019. What a fantastic skill you have in enabling our courage and confidence in such a non-judgemental way. Thank you for the gift you have, to both you and Krysia and for sharing your home so generously.<\/em>
Rolene<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for a stimulating time, exploring directions not familiar to me. I particularly appreciated the real enthusiasm and commitment to art \u2013 so far from just dabbling in painting \u2013 an unusual attribute in painting holidays. Plus lovely food, hospitality, in a great setting.<\/em>
Michael<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wonderful week \u2013 I think it has made me discover what my style really is! You\u2019ve made me also consider aspects of my practice that should not be neglected. Your reflections of light and shade have not fallen on deaf ears. Thank you both for an experience that was without fault \u2013 a rare commodity these days.<\/em>
Jean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Chris, dear Krysia,
It is not only the wonderful care you take of us, the food, scenery etc. It is also the happiness you create that makes here such a very special place. Third time here \u2013 surely that says it all.<\/em>
Freda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one word, excellent.<\/em>
Tony<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, from the art side I expected to be exposed to new thoughts and ideas but I never expected to have the boundaries pushed so far! I also did not expect to take home any pictures let alone anything that I was pleased with. Christopher, your wealth of knowledge and eagerness to share it, is amazing. And now I come to the other side of the stay; it is quite wonderful the way you have both opened up your home to us and made us feel that we belong. This warmth means more to me than I can ever say and no \u2018thank you\u2019 would be sufficient.<\/em>
Neal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella \u2013 a great week and such a lovely way to experience Italy- new friends- great food- making art perfecto!<\/em>
Steve and Sally<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Chris and thought what a cool guy \u2026\u2026 then I found out what he did and decided to come and spend a week painting with some friends. It\u2019s been a revelation. If you want to learn loads about yourself, you\u2019re painting style and hang out with a bunch of interesting characters, this is the week for you. Krysia thanks for your fantastic hospitality, charm & lots of wine.<\/em>
Steph<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Chris & Krysia.

Becca & Jessica<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How amazing to book this holiday thro\u2019 the back pages of the \u2018Leisure Painter\u2019 and thro\u2019 that to come across two such empathetic & inspirational people who can welcome all and sundry to their wonderful home and share it so totally with us all. There is nothing that could have made it better.<\/em>
Grant & Kathy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you very much Chris & Krysia for your generous hospitality. The painting \u2018journey\u2019 was amazing and much will be drawn from it in the future. Everything was perfect.<\/em>
