The painting style of impressionism developed in France in the late 19th century. A somewhat similar style was developed in Spain at the hands of the Valencian painter Joaquin Sorolla. Previously little known outside of Spain, Sorolla is becoming a major figure in European art due in part to a series of expositions in 2023 marking the 100th anniversary of his death. We will discuss the life and art of Sorolla, visit the Sorolla museum in Madrid, and attend the 2023 exposition in Madrid which included a spectacular animated virtual reality display of his major works. Please note class will skip July 1 and resume on July 8.

Life is FULL of never-ending challenges and set-backs. Our friend, the stress response, alerts us to those dangers and the need for action. However, stress hormones often linger past the task completion-leaving us feeling sick and tired. There are actually ways to manage those rocky roads without the negative impact of the lingering stress hormones. AND there are also ways to be freed in order to embrace AWE-to release positive hormones-and feel full of bliss and amazement-simply wonderful!!!

Class is already in session. Registration for this class is closed.

We take to the out-of-doors (en plein air) to create our summer poetry. No history or counting of syllables, just fun as we take the class to favorite Sedona locales and create our poetry together--giving new meaning to Free Form Verse! Meeting "early" mornings (9am) for four (4) weeks only. Our first week we'll gather at the Sedona campus and there determine the sites for the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th sessions. Hopefully 9:00-10:30am will keep us out of the heat of the Sedona summer. Bring your notebooks! We will skip July 2nd meeting (in honor of July 4th) and resume on July 9th. Due to outdoor location, registration for this class will close on June 24.
