« Painting Along the Appian Way | Main | Critique at San Fernando Valley Art Club June Meeting »
Art Show by the Altadena Historical Society

Sharon's Set Up and Display

The Altadena Historical Society invited a group of artists to show their work at their summer landmark tour of the Mountain View Mausoleum this last Saturday, June 6. I have been painting around Altadena with my Thursday plein air group, so I had a number of paintings which where recognizable to many of the visitors. Spring Sycamore, Curves Ahead, Once a Driveway, and Hidden Garden are all examples of paintings from the nearby area. It was great meeting everyone who came out for the day. You can see all my paintings at sharonweaver.com.

We were all grateful that it didn't rain and the sun peeked out through the clouds a few times to remind us just how hot it could have been without any clouds.

The real star of the show was the Mountain View Mausoleum which was built in 1925 for over half a million dollars, an incredible amount for the time. The 180 foot long galleria has a vaulted ceiling with wonderful frescoes, stained glass windows and deco lights. Many of the visitors commented that they felt they where back in Italy when they entered the building.

Thank you, to the members of the Altadena Historical Society who were friendly and did a wonderful job of organizing the event.
