Reflecting Back on our New Zealand Train Tour

As I boarded the train, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the journey ahead. I had heard so much about the beauty of New Zealand, and I was eager to see it for myself. As the train began to move, we followed a winding river through the vast landscape, surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests, and snow-capped mountains.


I could take in this incredible country's breathtaking views and natural beauty throughout the ride. I saw where the river had flooded houses, and I watched as sheep and horses grazed in the fields. It was a truly peaceful and picturesque scene.

As we traveled along the tracks, I was treated to a delicious lunch at our table so I could continue taking pictures out the window. I was able to choose from a wide variety of dishes, whether I was in the mood for something salty, sweet, or vegetarian options. The food was perfectly prepared and an excellent way to fuel up the rest of the journey.


Overall, taking a train ride tour through New Zealand was an unforgettable experience for me. The stunning views, delicious food, and the opportunity to see local wildlife and communities made it a truly unique and memorable way to explore and experience the beauty of this beautiful country. I left the tour feeling grateful and inspired, and I can't wait to come back and explore more of what New Zealand has to offer.

ATTENTION ALL PURPLE MEMBERS - AGAIN!

Purple Members - The Future is Coming!


Out of all the Purple Members that we have registered, we have only heard from about 25% of you! Not to worry, we will be moving forward with our plans and getting started the first of the year with some new benefits for what will be known as the Royal Purple Member plan.


Use Contact Us, and put PURPLE in the subject line so we can add you to the all-important list!


We have a challenge for you! This will be just a small sampling of the fun and educational things coming your way!


Ginger and Jon will be looking of the answers from the quiz and then give their opinions and the reasoning behind their choices. Look for this soon!


We have asked the Purple Members what they want to learn or what they are finding challenging in their paintings. So, with this in mind, we have a challenge for you that requires you to visit our website and look at a painting by Edmund Tarbell in our new series..."What can we learn from the Masters of yesteryear?"


These will be fun little exercises that will teach you to look at the paintings of the masters and notice some of the more subtle techniques that they employed in their artwork.


We want more Purples to participate before we discuss the answers.

Where are you PURPLES?
