Yesterday morning was my last day at Capon Springs for the Spring Art Retreat. We had a terrific time creating beautiful art. Many people got to try painting for the first time and some rediscovered an old love. It’s fun for me to watch people discover their artistic side. The other wonderful thing about Capon are the many traditions that they have. The place runs like clockwork. Meals served at a certain time; the same menu week after week. It’s like visiting an old friend. You know what to expect and it’s a very satisfying feeling. 
It’s also nice to see the staff taking time to help everyone build memories…especially the kids. They clamor to help….especially with the traditional things like raising the flag. These two kids will long remember assisting Jonathan raise the flag while we all looked on and sang the National Anthem. It’s my favorite part of each morning at Capon Springs and Farm.
What fun we have had helping people discover (or rediscover) their artistic sides. Once again, it’s been a delight to spend time in the magical place called Capon Springs. Make the time to come and see the magic for yourself. And if you can make it coincide with out Fall Artist Retreat from September 23-28, 2018, all the better. You won’t regret it!
My niece Morgan is graduating soon as a Graphic Arts major. She has an amazing imagination. I flew to Savannah yesterday to see her art show. She and three of her fellow students had a show with art representing their work from their years at college. It was all amazing. Everyone had a different story and different style and it was great to see. Morgan is very much into developing characters for a graphic novel. Her back stories for the characters are great fun. Here is some of her work…and some photos of the family getting together for her event. Congratulations Morgan. It was a great evening.
Are you ready to go to a magical place? Capon Springs is such a place. It’s close by and it is wonderful. Come join us in May for our second Art Retreat there. We will be there painting from Sunday, May 20th- Friday, May 25th. You can come for one night or all of them. We’ll be doing something special each day.
