We named the company Art Tours by Artists. Inc. because we wanted you to know that the workshop has been designed with you, an artist in mind. Artists have special needs, and our job is to set the stage and choreograph the trip so you're free to paint and enjoy your workshop while we take care of the details. Rest assured, we'll work hard to make sure your journey to England is as rich, rewarding, and memorable as possible.

Please email us at JanetACook@aol.com or phone (917) 747-6565 (U.S.) if you have questions.

Tour to England June 2004
with expert instruction from Randall Sexton
"To me, plein-air painting is an ‘environmentally-friendly’ exchange between myself and the world beyond. The end result is a record of the experience, a portrait of the moment, a blending or mixture of myself and what lies before me."
Randall Sexton is a California painter whose loose, colorful style is admired by collectors and fellow artists alike. Sexton was born, raised, and educated in Connecticut. He moved to California in 1980, immediately following his graduation from the University of Connecticut. He has been a fixture in the Bay Area painting scene ever since. He loves to paint and learn from other artists, having taken workshops with numerous artists across the country. In 1996 he was selected to teach at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. He has been featured in many shows, galleries and articles including American artist, the July 2003 issue of Southwestern Art (p106 -9). In addition to landscapes, Randall paints still lifes, florals, figures, and portraits. His versatility evidences a seriously dedicated painter who strives to stretch boundaries whenever he can. His colors are brilliant and accurate and his compositions are full of grandeur and closely observed detail. He is widely regarded to be the premier plein air painter working in Northern California today — an area renown for its plein-air paintings.

Inspired by the British countryside and her home towns of Richmond and London, Janet Cook is collaborating with Randall Sexton in organizing this tour to England.

Janet is a British artist currently living and working in America. She paints mainly figurative and landscape painting and has recently completed a series of colorful New York city-scapes which will exhibited this year. "I like to combine landscape and figurative aspects in a painting I find that this adds interest and scale to the work".

During her time in the states she has studied art at the University of Miami, The San Francisco School of Art, The Art Academy, San Francisco, and the Academy of Design New York. She is currently studying at The Art Students League in New York with Ken McIndoe. She has studied with portraiture with Bob Gerbracht and landscapes painting with Frank Federico and was the recipient of the Pastel Society of America scholarship in 1996, 1997, and 2002 and has won numerous awards for her work. Janet's paintings are held in many private collections throughout the US, Europe and Israel. More recently Janet has expanded her scope of interest to encompass less traditional approaches to art such as computer graphics and website design including this one.
