Many thanks to Hidden Villa staff for welcoming us back for yet another wonderful day of painting. Plein air painting is not new to the Hidden Villa site; the founder Frank Duveneck's father was a master plein air painter and the SCVWS paintsites were honored to continue the tradition and to share the experience with school groups. In addition, our painters were treated to a special tour of the Duveneck house and were able to view Frank Duveneck senior's original artwork. Thank you Maggie for a magnificent tour.
Once a stage coach stop, the beautiful Hidden Villa property is now a preserve with plenty of subjects to paint including farm animals, farm equipment (new and rusty), barns and the beautiful mediterranean-style Duveneck home.
