One & Only Reethi Rah Resort Maldives as Artist in Residence with Christopher Hogan
I thought that I would tell you all about a wonderful event that the management here at One & Only Reethi Rah Maldives organises, it is a chance to go for the day of sun and fun to a remote uninhabited island where the guests are spoilt with lots of good food and drinks and some great activities. Recently I was invited to be part of this great fun day as Artist in Residence here. I set up my ‘Christopher Hogan studio’ in this unbelievably beautiful setting and I had 14 guests take an art class with me.
Some good paintings were done and we all had lots of fun, so that’s the main thing with these events.
Here are some pics that I thought I might share with you all.

Art work from guests that have taken my classes, I have had wonderful guest feedback and I am looking forward to the next week of class here.
Here are some examples of guest comments
Special thanks for a great lovely experience………Somehow your striking work gave me that same sensation as I observed how you took a tiny part of what is & created from it what could be…….We miss you and you very interesting classes a lot. We enjoyed them greatly. And we would like to have them again.
Good work
I have been enjoying taking art classes with the guests of the One and Only Reethi Rah Maldives.
In my open air art studio under the swaying coconut palms is, I think, the ideal location for the creative in us all to come out, here at the One & Only Reethi Rah (which means Beautiful Island in Maldivian) my students have excelled in producing some truly wonderful art works reflective of the surroundings.
Here are a few pics and comments from guests that have given me their permission to post on my blog, thank you and keep up the good work!

I had the pleasure of teaching 5 young people all the way from Russian, who are in Hua Hin for the King’s Cup Elephant Polo.
We all sat under my “Art-Tent” on the balcony overlooking the pool at Anantara Hua Hin and enjoyed 2 hours of art, I am greatly impressed with their art and one of the chaps said to me later, that he was going to take up art when he returns home, he enjoyed my class so much….heartwarming.
We all met up later that night for a great wine dinner.
Well, what an exciting week, Beres & I were invited Anantara Hua Hin VIP’s to the Grand Parade, Elephant Blessing and Elephant Buffet for the 10th King’s Cup Elephant Polo being held this year at Suriyothai Camp, Hua Hin, Thailand.
Here are a few pics.

Last week I had the pleasure of teaching 43 young autistic children & one of their teachers, I am proud of these children’s art works and it was of great personal pride to see them able to show off their work at the opening day of 10th King’s Cup Elephant Polo in Hua Hin yesterday.
A selection of their artwork is for sale by silent auction at the event to raise money for autistic children and elephants in Thailand.
My class enjoy a day out at the Elephant Polo
It's a great day for these kids.
Well Done!
