Seven of my painting friends and I recently headed to Florence, Oregon for a three day painting retreat at the Oregon coast. We had a wonderful time!
Wednesday we had a picnic lunch and painted at the Umpqua Lighthouse. Then we checked into Driftwood Shores Resort which is right on the beach. Dinner was amazing, a small but great restaurant on the river, Waterfront Depot. I can still taste the crab-encrusted halibut with creamy chili sauce—yum-o!
Thursday we went into old town and enjoyed sunshine while we painted boats and scenery and managed to fit in lunch, shopping and coffee before the fog rolled in. Back at Driftwood shores we enjoyed homemade wine, great conversation and gorgeous views.
Friday was spent at Judy’s float house on Lake Tahkenitch. It’s an adorable little cabin accessible by boat only and decorated in Judy’s favorite retro-eclectic style. Can you tell that we had a great time?! Can’t wait for our next retreat!!!
