Facilities
"...... I was so impressed by
the way you made us feel so comfortable at every stage of the
day...I'm still missing those wonderful salads at lunchtime and the
delicious nibbles that accompanied every beverage. Also I was very
pleased with the accommodation at Montplaisir.
There is
plenty for the non-painting partners or friends - the house is
within half an hour from TOULOUSE, CASTRES and the market
towns of REVEL and LAVAUR. And within an hour from
LAUTREC,GAILLAC, ALBI, CORDES, CARCASSONNE.
There is plenty of WALKING in the immediate area and in the
mountains. There are three GOLF COURSES within half an hour and
TENNIS and RIDING nearby. We have a SWIMMING POOL and plenty of
places for everyone to paint/read/sleep/sunbathe without disturbance
and even indulge in a MASSAGE with our local masseuse and not
forgetting the delicious gourmet French cooking provided by our
local chef Yannick Hervouet.

Tony Rothon June 28 -
6 July
Tony Rothon is a very popular,
sensitive and experienced teacher and painter.
"The attitude which I teach follows my own practice. I try to make a
distinction
between painting from life/landscape as a copying
activity, and painting as the challenging business of making
sensible painted equivalents
for the world.
"Same thing, aren't they?" people say, and I say that they are not. The canvas is flat, the world 3-dimensional. This essential
difference brings into play the use of 'language' in the attempt to
bridge between the two..."
Tony studied at The Slade 1967 - 71 and was a post graduate there
from 1971 - 73, he was awarded the Spanish Government Scholarship
1973 -4
He has taught for various
London Art Schools including The Byam Shaw, Wimbledon and
Heatherleys,
and is teaching to present date (until Christmas 2009) for
University of the Arts and

Kensington Square.
He has had 4 one-person exhibitions since 2002 at
Jonathan Ross's Gallery 286, London

Society of Portrait Painters, "The Discerning Eye
