On a dark, windy night, Carlsbad Oceanside Art League artists haunted the kitchen at the North Coastal Art Gallery to whip up a most gruesome abode: the spooky COAL mansion. Is up for grabs from October 1 through October 27 at the gallery. One picked up a pencil and said, “This should be drawn and quartered.” Another grabbed a bewitched brush and said, “I’m going to paint this house, red…. or blue. Well, no, we need the whole spectrum for this.“ Another grabbed a slab of gingerbread and said, “I think my knife is sharp enough.” Another gathered ghastly, green fondant and silently fashioned it into phantasms. When it was complete, they screamed with ardent admiration and said, “What a delightfully dilapidated domicile to display!" Stop in, a must see at the Gallery. Tickets are available at the gallery or online at the North Coastal Art Gallery https://northcoastalartgallery.com/silent-art-auction-by-local-artists/ Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (North Coastal Art Gallery) on Facebook / Instagram
