Bix really enjoys working in watercolor and is also fascinated with Zentangle ™ inspired art.  And oh my goodness!  Talk about a dream vacation for those interested in artistic pursuits!  Bix and her husband Drew offer painting holidays in the French countryside within the context of a 12th century French monastery which they have renovated. In addition, they offer fishing holidays.    In some families I just know that combo could provide the perfect holiday setup.
