Friends of Hearst
Castle--"Enchanted Evening, A Brush of Elegance; A Stroke of
Genius"
Road to Enchantment, 24 " x 24 ", oil on linen
Libby was asked to paint at Hearst
Castle this year to create a landscape painting with Hearst Castle in it. After
painting on location this summer, she chose to paint with the original road
leading up to the Castle. "Besides being an absolutely beautiful area to paint,
with many wonderful paintings to be made, the summer golds and the old road
leading up to the Castle caught my heart".
The painting will be sold at auction
during the Enchanted Evening at Hearst Castle celebrating the castle's Golden
Anniversary - 50 years of public tours. For information on the painting or to
submit a bid please contact Laura Nicholsen 805-927-2138. www.friendsofhearstcastle.org

The
two week-long workshops in Los Osos this past July were extraordinary!
Fun (and lots of hard work) was had by all. We weathered very cool (some would call it down right cold) days on the coast and some balmy days inland. We worked long hours and were able to capture both cool and warm light situations. Photos from the workshops are on our gallery pages.
