Your tutor for painting holidays is Rodney Munday, a professional artist with an international reputation, exhibiting in both London and Paris. He was awarded the gold medal  at the prestigious Salon d’Art du Colombier at St. Arnoult-en-Yvelines and his many commissions include a life-sized bronze statue of St. Edmund of Abingdon for the University of Oxford and “Europa and the Bull” for a multinational pharmaceutical company. In the Pyrenees, Rodney has returned to his love of two dimensional work in a variety of media, inspired by the extraordinary beauty of the scenery  and exceptional quality of the light. His relaxed and friendly approach brings out the best in all his pupils, beginner and accomplished alike.  Further information about   Rodney can be seen on the rest of this website

Your meals will be provided by his wife, Eleri. (who  does not paint, but  is a talented embroidress).  A dedicated and enthusiastic hostess, Eleri is here to ensure that your stay is everything you could wish for, and more. Over the past 15 years she has developed a considerable repertoire  of Ariegeoise cuisine, and delights in producing delicious meals from local produce. She also specialises in picnics. Special dietary requirements are of course catered for. Breakfast will be served in the dining room of “Le Pichet,” evening meals in either the garden or in the lovely old dining room of “La Carrette”, a wonderful opportunity to relax and talk over the day’s events and plan for tomorrow.

Eleri  adores this region, and is never happier than when showing it off. It has much to offer  painters and non-painters alike, and Eleri will be delighted to  ensure that  non-painters   also go home refreshed and inspired!
