\u201cWhat could be better than painting out in the fresh air in a place of great natural beauty with the coolest group of people you\u2019re ever likely to meet? Paint camp! Paint camp! I fell asleep while thinking of mixing greens and dreamed of painting all night. The only thing that will keep me going on after it\u2019s over this year is the prospect of Fall Color Week in Maine in October.\u201d\n\n<\/div>\n \n

\u201cI went to paint, and left having just encountered a life changing experience. To paint unencumbered is one thing, but to do it with 100 other artists, and to share their gifts and knowledge. It was unbelievable. There has not been a single thing in my artistic career that helped me more than just heading up to the middle of the woods and painting with all of you. I long for the day when I can return again. The friends I made, the art I created, in a land as scenic as it comes.\u201d<\/div>\n \n

\u201cThe benefits of attending are many, but perhaps the most important can be\nsummed up in three words: \u2018We\u2019re not alone.\u2019 For one week we form a caring,\nsupportive community of painters where we\u2019re reminded that we all have good days and bad days; we have passion, but we\u2019re often full of doubts; and we learn that it\u2019s okay to make mistakes, try something new, and learn from\neach other.\u201d<\/div>\n \n

\u201cRenewal for the mind, body, and spirit. And it\u2019s a lot of fun, too! If there is plein air painting in Heaven, I\u2019m sure it will be a lot like this.\u201d<\/div>\n \n

\u201cI attended three years in a row and still did not get to all of the locations that Eric chose for us. Such a great week. No worries, great accommodations, best people, and Rosemary brushes too! Best summer camp for adults ever, and so beautiful there.\u201d<\/div>\n \n

\u201cThe Adirondack mountains have some of the most beautiful scenes in the United States. With a vertical rise in some areas of 5000+ feet, these mountains are older than the Tetons. Also, there is more underground water in the Northeast than any place else in the world. This is evident in the many lakes, ponds, waterfalls, streams and rivers in the Adirondack state park.\u201d<\/div>\n \n

\u201cI LOVE the Publisher\u2019s Invitationals and I go every chance I can! It\u2019s like a family reunion without the crazy uncle. We paint all day, fellowship, share ideas, play music, eat, drink and just have a good time. When I return home, I\u2019m a better painter and I hope a better person. Who couldn\u2019t use a week of no drama & stress? Thank you Eric for sharing your piece of paradise!\u201d<\/div>\n \n

\u201cIt was a life changing, well organized event, just like everything Eric Rhoads does! This will be my second time, and I am hooked forever! The first was to be a gift to myself for personal time painting plein air, and the anniversary of my artist father passing, representing his lifetime encouragement to me as an artist. It was a journey alone where I met kindred spirits to keep forever!\u201d<\/div>\n \n
