Winter 2010 Schedule

Please notice that classes are being held at the Herndon Community Center, the Vienna Arts Center, or at The Reston Art Gallery. Each has their own registration procedure. Just click on the location of the class you would like to take and follow the instructions. Please be aware that, I must have at least 6 students registered and paid at least two weeks prior to the beginning date of the class or the class will be cancelled. You must register for the entire class.

Snow Days. Snow days are based on Fairfax County school closings. If the school opening is one or two hours late in opening, we will have classes at the regular time. I Fairfax schools are closed, the studio will be closed. This applies to day and evening classes. Hopefully we will not have to worry about it this Winter semester.

Ancient Egypt and the Nile

April 10-23, 2010
Cost: Approx. $3,230.00

Egypt is a land of superlatives: the largest and most ancient temple complexes in the world ... the grandest, most inspiring pyramids ... the priceless treasure of Tutankhamun ... and some of the friendliest, most welcoming people. What you've only seen in books—what you've dreamed of since childhood—will come to life. Explore the kaleidoscopic city that is Cairo, where ancient tradition thrives in a modern metropolis. Stand in awe among the Pyramids of Giza. And sail along the Nile, where daily riverside life unfolds as it has for countless centuries, and where time stands still in glorious temples. You'll enjoy cruising aboard our privately owned Nile river ship, the M/S River Anuket and relax knowing that we monitor your trip's every step from our Cairo office. It all adds up to an Egyptian odyssey of the best quality and unmatched Grand Circle value.

I know this seems very early to be thinking of a trip for 2010, but as I have discovered, a few of you have already planned trips for next year. I am organizing a trip with Grand Circle. Why??? Most of us, my self included, no longer enjoy hauling multiple pounds of art supplies on a painting adventure, or the added expense of instructor fees. This trip offers the best rates for superior quality, that you will find for the offerings of a River Cruise Tour. Why should you sign up this early? The lowest price rooms on the main deck sell out very quickly. As an organizer I can only hold a block of rooms for 30 days. If you bring a friend that has never traveled with Grand Circle, they give you and instant discount, plus there is another discount for early payment. The price of the trip is only $3230.00 which includes 6 nights at the 5 star Cairo Marriott, 11 exclusive sightseeing tours, 29 meals, the river cruse, airfare, taxes and insurance. I will have a meeting at my home in early Sept. to talk more about the trip. For those who enjoy sketchbook journaling, I will share some of my books and information. Call Grand Circle with questions or to sign up at 1-800-221-2610 or www.gct.com. My group number is GO 10550.
