Hidden Villa is open for visitors! Thirteen painters enjoyed a lovely spring day at Hidden Villa and were serenaded by baby animals, turkey and bird calls, little camper giggles, and even a little flute song. Sharman, Tanvi, Bonnie J, Mary R, Dale, Brad, Lora (and friend), Jane, Alison, Caroline, and Monique and had their choice of subject matter including the historic buildings Duveneck house and barns ~ Alison
Hidden Villa began in 1924, when Frank and Josephine Duveneck purchased the property near Los Altos in 1924 and began sharing the land and creating humanitarian programs that have inspired many generations. The Duvenecks were profoundly generous and dedicated to creating a just and sustainable future for all.

- Take a digital photo (in focus please), of one painting and crop it as you would like it to appear.
- Email your photo with your name, and comments if any, to paintsites@scvws.org . Comments will be included in the photo caption unless noted otherwise.
- If possible label your photo as follows: Site name, your name, month year. Use capitals for each new word. No spaces or punctuation between words except before jpeg e.g. CasaGrandeBettyJan22.jpeg

- Late photos will be posted in the next blog post
