The Wyland Wall

On Saturday January 19, 2013 the artist Wyland came to the Glennwood House of Laguna Beach and worked with 10 of our resident candidates and created an extraordinary mural on the outside of our dining hall. It was an amazing day that was full of memories that the Glennwood House will hold dear to our heart.  We could not be more thankful to Wyland and his Foundation, Coast Hardware of Laguna Beach, Bill Shedd and to all of the artists that helped make this wall look so excellent.


The wall before we started painting that was primed in light blue paint.

Some of the MANY paint colors that were mixed and created.
