I have long appreciated the La Playa Hotel in Carmel for its historic feel, beautiful gardens, swimming pool and ocean views. I love it even more now with three of my small paintings hanging in the entry salons.
My paintings “Standing Watch “ and “What Remains” are in the reception foyer. “Pocket Cove” hangs alongside an Alice Weil still life in the fireplace lobby area.
The paintings were acquired as part of a $15 million hotel wide renovation lead by the Post Company. The beautiful renovation respects the historic nature of the hotel and delivers an elegant calm. The project was recently profiled in New York Times’ T Magazine.
The property began as the stone home of painter Chris Jorgensen in Carmel’s early days becoming a hotel 101 years ago.
