We will continue to publish the weekly blog during the "Shelter in Place" requirements while Thursday and Weekend paintsites are cancelled. We invite paintsite artists to paint or sketch on your own time during the week, pick one painting from that week and submit it by Saturday of that week. Here are some guidelines:
- Submit a digital photo of your artwork to paintsites@scvws.org. Cropped photos are preferred.
- Include your name, the date and comments about the site or unique media notes.
- Be creative! Some of your best subjects are in your own yard or houseplants. You may want to paint from personal photos of your travels.
- Submissions after Saturday midnight will appear in the following week's blog.
- One submission per member, please.
Please check the SCVWS.org website and newsletter for further updates and also all the great links and opportunities available during this time

Hidden Villa in Los Altos Hills is currently closed and we have had to cancel our planned paintsite there; nevertheless, they have invited us to participate in their Art Contest jointly sponsored by the Los Altos Town Crier. We have painted at Hidden Villa many times in the past, and it is very likely that you already have a painting that would be suitable for this contest. Here are details:
- Prompt: Depict your favorite place at Hidden Villa
- Medium: Your choice of 2D visual art medium (paint, sketch, pastels, crayons, etc.)
- Age: For all ages! There will be prizes for three age groups: 9 & Under, 10-17, 18+
- Prizes: First place winners will receive their choice of Hidden Villa strawberries, olive oil, or a floral bouquet. Second and third place winners will receive 3 free day passes. All winners will be published by the LATC.
- Submission: To submit, email a photo or scan of the artwork, with the title and the artist's name and age to lhedgecock@hiddenvilla.org by June 21st. May specify age as "18+". Include a photo of the artist holding the piece as well, and Hidden Villa may feature it on their social media!
