Hearst Castle, Golden Statue

This painting is a result of painting on location at Hearst Castle garden some years ago and recently being invited to have reproductions of my Hearst Castle paintings in their Gift Shop. I have loved this gilded statue of the Fairy Princess about to kiss the frog and transform him into her Prince. The statue is on the hilltop at Hearst Castle overlooking the coastline. She is perched so high, seeing all the beautiful moments of the San Simeon coast for miles in front of her.
