Art Adventures Presents: THE DALMATION COAST of Croatia (the former
Yugoslavia).

This beautiful area has been called the "Pearl of the Adriatic". There will be
painting and photographic opportunities at every turn as we explore: Zagreb, The
Plitvice Lakes, Zadar, Split, Hvar Island and Dubrovnik. The best hotels have
been reserved for us.

After a full breakfast each day we will leave for our painting and photographic
destination. Two to three hours will be spent on location with our guide as we
record each beautiful area. Afternoons are usually spent sight seeing, finishing
paintings and resting. Each evening before dinner we are often treated by a short
demonstration by Rose and view our day's work. Join us on this great adventure!
