2023 November - mark the dates on your calendar.
I have wanted to go to Japan since forever. I went to college on the train listening to Japanese language tapes as I sketched people reading the paper. Never lost my fascination for anything Japanese. My long lost friend Kumiko and some interesting conversations with artist Craig Penny opened up this itch to be scratched and I spent 2 weeks in central Japan touring around hoping I could come again and again.
Japan 2015 was Painting Holidays first Artists tour of Osaka and Kyoto with 11 lucky painters and Craig Penny our artist with Local guide Mayumi whom I met when I was there previously.
We had a ball and in November 2023 another 12 lucky painters and artists will join us to see what all the fuss is about! So excited to be going back to Kyoto.

The Thing

2012 The year of the flood did not deter us.
"Bloody marvellous...!" was Craig's comment about the flood affected journey to the lake and the boat ride on to the Stilted Village. Just getting to the boats was an adventure in itself with flooded villages and rice paddies, cattle taking refuge on the road and (my favourite memory) a little pig with a "grin" on his face taking a bath in the flood waters as village kids played around him. We still love revisiting The Stilted Village on our tours and sharing the stories with our travellers and guests. It's not always flooded and we all seem to have just as much fun exploring the village area when the water is lower. 2023 we include the old city of Battambang staying for few days at Wat Kor Maison hotel in the original village area made famous by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. |
