Painting The Golden State

Scotts Valley’s ‘Art in the Library’ Program

SCOTTS VALLEY – Our beautiful golden state is the inspiration for the newest ‘Art in the Library’ Karin_H._Leonard_Through_the_Eyes_of_the_Condor_Garrapata_State_Park_-_oil_-_24x30program at the Scotts Valley Library. The ‘Painting the Golden State’ installation, running August 16 to November 1, features an exhibit of Plein air and studio landscape paintings inspired by the state of California.

Contemporary California artists from the Santa Cruz Oil Painters (SCOP) travelled extensively through the state, and their works reflect Lake Tahoe’s sapphire blue waters, the rugged Big Sur coast, cool green redwood forests and Yosemite’s granite splendor. The public is welcome to come to the library and celebrate our love of California’s diverse landscapes through this exhibit of original oil and pastel paintings.


“California is a diverse state in so many ways, and this installation celebrates this state’s amazing landscapes,” said Val Peyser, Art in the Library program chair. “The Santa Cruz Oil Painters group is committed to creating a community of artists with the common goal of providing support and learning along with exhibitions. We are lucky to be able to showcase their amazing talents.”

‘Painting the Golden State’ features works from the following artists: • Sue Holmes • Wayne Adachi • Skip Andreae • Judy Brock • Michele Hausman • Christine De Faymorea • Suzanne Eilliott • Mary Garon • Daryl Hosick • Richard Klevins • Karin Leonard • Ann Thiermann • Jean Thomas • Eunice Van der Linden • Helene Woolsey • Sydney Zentall
