And if the walls could talk, we would have heard a few stories about the great masterpieces painted (including the painting of British actress Ellen Terry shown below) in this most amazing studio.Īs always, thanks to Margaret Cerutti of The Art League of Virginia for her hard work incoordinating all of it and thanks to the group for being so easygoing and energetic, despite a very packed schedule!Images compiled and taken by Lina Liberace with some by Margaret Cerutti. In true London fashion, Serena prepared cucumber sandwiches and elderflower water for all 26 of us! Julian had lots of great stories to tell. He and his lovely wife Serena graciously allowed our group to visit with them in this extraordinary place. The talented painter has also lived and worked in this studio for about forty years. This said, the highlight of the trip for most of us was spending an afternoon in the Tite Street studio where John Singer Sargent painted for forty years. And thanks to Magaret’s incredible ability to pull strings, we spent about three hours taking in a lavish private tour of Buckingham Palace’s grand rooms, finishing up with a champagne toast to Prince William and his new bride. So much history and so much art! We drew and painted at the Tower Bridge, Saint James’ and Regent’s Park. We were only allowed to take photos in some of the museums, but still managed to put to gather quite a nice photo collection. We had fantastic weather, a wonderful group, and visited amazing art museums including the National Gallery of London, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The National Portrait Gallery, The British Museum, The Queen’s Collection at Buckingham Palace and even a private tour of the Print and Drawing room in the Tate.
