Art and Wine, what could be better? Linda Halbert and Caron O'Rourke works of art are to be exhibited at a true art venue that marries harmoniously with the tasting of world class locally produced wines. Both Linda and Caron draw their ideas and inspiration from the local culture and beauty. The 'Casa del Vino' venue is a stunning glass building in the lovely town of Pinoso, situated in the Vinalopo area of Alicante, Spain. A perfect canvas to show the best of these two renowned artists. It’s also somewhere were you can interact, appreciate and discuss the artwork and local wine. And let’s face it, there is something nice about holding a glass of wine when perusing great new artwork. Much thought is going into the placement and positioning of the work, from the brightly coloured stylized paintings by Linda, juxtaposed with the local stone sculptures of Caron. Pinoso is also a unique place to visit for an off track holiday with so much to see and do in the area and both Linda and Caron offer short breaks and tailor made art and relaxation holidays for clubs and associations. If you are in the mood for something good to taste and some seriously interesting art, come to Casa del Vino for the opening night on April 2nd at 7.30pm or you can view the exhibition Mondays to Saturdays from 2nd of April to the 29th of April between 5.30pm and 8pm. Highly Recommended. Accommodation available on request www.lindahalbert.com
Done it many times without a problem - in the hold that is. Hand luggage is a complete no for paints, although a sketch pad and coloured pencils not a problem, so you can still doodle for an hour or two.
In the suitcase....never the hand luggage...BUT Anticipate USA officious persons opening tubes...but not sealing them up afterwards...snapping pastels to look inside...and don't have any strange bottles with hand written labels...don't have any bottles of manufactured adjuncts as they just don't understand them. AND protect your clothing in plastic bags... Better still just take the digital photos...the small compact is just as good as the clumping great brute... Travel light...be carefree...be hassle free... Painting on-site is not necessarily the best art...paint in the comfort of home!
Having travelled pretty extensively with paints...mainly to east Africa , I agree entirely with the information above.  Just make sure  they are very well wrapped ,preferably in a rigid container.  I have never had any problems,<div>. Take  just a small sketch book for the journey to record all those interesting poses and faces in the airport lounge.   Also take not one jot  of notice of Mel and his home comforts .  The best painting experiences are there,  in situ, with all of life around you..  Oh do have a great time. </div>
sorry wrong thread . I thought it said taking snakes on a plane
