September 14, 2015 (La Mesa)--The Dr. William C. Herrick Community Health Care Library, a consumer health library at 9001 Wakarusa St. in La Mesa, is now hosting its Summer Art Exhibit featuring 14 oil and watercolor paintings of landscape scenes by Mike Hefner of San Carlos. The show runs through the end of September.
The exhibit includes Hefner’s plein air watercolor paintings that highlight the beauty and history of San Diego, from its coasts and mountains to the deserts of Baja. Plein air means “open air” and refers to paintings created outside and on location.
Hefner’s award-winning work has appeared in many local galleries. His painting, “East of Henshaw III,” showing a back country road, earned first place at the recent San Diego County Fair in the representational landscape watercolor category. That same painting is currently on display at the Herrick Library.
After a 40-year career working in the home improvement industry, Hefner is now painting fulltime. He is a member of the Foothills Art Association and San Diego Watercolor Society, and is currently serving as president of the East County Art Association. His website is www.mikehefnerart.blogspot.com.
Admission to the Herrick Community Health Care Library is free. The Summer Art Exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours, which are from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays through Fridays, and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
