MORAGA ART GALLERY's "Light and Fire" Exhibit and Artists' Reception SATURDAY, February 4th 5 to 7pm with Guest Artist John Hopper was a great success. I wish to thank those attending the reception and those visiting the exhibit.

Queen Elizabeth — June 2019, John was the instructor of "Watercolor just for the FUN of it" on two 10 day Alaskan Cruises visiting 5 ports; Sitka, Icy Strait (Hoonah, AK), Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. Vancouver, BC was our departure port and Victoria, BC was a port of call also. Marilyn and I facilitated eighteen 2-hour classes with marvelous participation (up to 24 per class) and great success among the attending artists.

Queen Mary2 —June 2018, John was the instructor of "Watercolor just for the FUN of it" on Cunard Lines' Queen Mary 2 crossing from NYC to Southampton, England and on the return trip also. With two 2-hour classes each sea day, a total of 56 hours, it became a real challenge. Marilyn assisted John who presented range of relaxed, enjoyable experiences and provided participating travelers a "FUN" adventure. John and Marilyn will do more classes on cruise ships in the future.
