Geocache Description:


This is the new "ART house" by local Architect Jeff Shelton. He was inspired by a home from his childhood, Sanford Darling’s “House of a Thousand Paintings” near Santa Barbara City College. Unfortunately, it was demolished, and the paintings were sold to collectors and museums after Darling’s death in 1973. You can see some pictures of his house here: (visit link)

Shelton handed out panels and told artists to paint something from a place they traveled or the place where they grew up. It was left vague on purpose, so people could send a cityscape or the sign from their favorite restaurant, he said. Every single piece is donated. Shelton had promised the city no profanity, nudity or political statements. But he did ban artists from using rainbows, clowns and dolphins — a few random things to make the point that he wanted art based off good memories, not just feel-good pictures.

He and artist Richard Wilke also painted about 60 panels each themselves. The paintings use UV paint and a special coating to help them last, but they will eventually age and need replacing. “It will be different in 10 years, in 20 years, and so will we,” he said.
