LUCERNE – Work on a new mural of the historic Lucerne Hotel is nearing completion.
Mural artist Gloria De La Cruz has been busy painting the work of art at Harbor Village Artists colony on Highway 20, next door to Lucerne Harbor Park.
De La Cruz said she's appreciated the public's positive response to her work, which features amazing detail. The mural, painted above a rock facade, gives the viewer the feeling that they're peeking over a garden wall.
Her mother, Ana De La Cruz – also an artist, who moved here two years ago from Silverton, Ore., to be closer to Gloria and her child – has been keeping an eye on the mural's progress.
