Goddess of the RiverRecently I was asked by a local artist to accompany her and several friends for lunch at the new Scotts Seafood on the River in South Land Park known as the Pocket in Sacramento.

It was actually the second time I had eaten at Scotts but I had not toured the hotel.  I was honored to be asked and blown away by my friend's talent.

I knew Claudia was an artist but had no idea the magnitude of her artist qualities until recently.

After being escorted in a white limo from Fretty's Limousine Service and arriving to Scotts Seafood by the River for a delicious lunch and lady's chat session we ventured over to the hotel side at Le Rivage. With the artist in tow we were all mesmerized by her enormous painting of the Goddess of the River in the lobby of Le Rivage.

 We have one of our very own here in Sacramento that is of notoriety.  And isn't it nice to find a local artist that brings such talent to our community.

Claudia Iudice, artist and friend as well as 55 year resident of Sacramento living in Curtis Park was commissioned by Bob Leach, the builder of Le Rivage Hotel in Land Park on the River to paint several large River scenes for display in the hotel.

Claudia, known as "Carrie" is featured throughout the hotel with many life size paintings. She is also a docent at Crocker Museum and has been featured at many of Sacramento Art shows and galleries.

Land Park has a golden secret on the River at Le Rivage hotel.  They are to be commended for show casing local talent like Claudia Iudice.

I highly recommend an evening at Scotts for fine dining in a wonderful atmosphere by the Sacramento River and then a luxury stay at the newly appointed Le Rivage Hotel where Luxury is second nature and Art abounds.

The Land Park and Pocket area of Sacramento is a beautiful area with wonderful homes and great neighborhoods. Land Park is a real estate dream come true now with this exquisite facility for all of us to enjoy.

Here is just a taste of the artwork by Claudia that you will see while staying or visiting at Le Rivage Hotel.

What a great time we had arriving in a stretch limo, having lunch at Scotts and then given a royal tour of the hotel.

Each room in the hotel exhibits original photography taken by the owners on their travels.

It was a privilege to be included in such a wonderful day with such inspiring friends.

 If you are thinking of a Sacramento relocation, Curtis Park is a lovely established neighborhood you may want to consider. As a Sacramento Realtor, it would be my pleasure to help you.

Hi Gena - sounds like a good time - I like the one on the left, with the winding river

Hope you have a good weekend, and get your garden planted!

Hi Pretty Lady, sounds like a perfect day...wish I could have been with you :).  Orange is your color, and happens to be my best color too.  So here is a little present for you.  Let me know if you want me to e-mail you some, I took a ton.  This rose bush was so pretty and this was just after a rain, so you wee the raindrops on the roses.

  Since you are the expert, do you think I should still use the address, city, state & zip code for my listing on put on here, or what would be the best for SE's?  L

Georgina, your favorite is the Sacramento Delta. I certainly had a great time and had no idea how talented Claudia really was. I just love the Goddess of the River that she did...Thanks for popping in.

Don't think I'm quite up to planting...I'd love to but it's not in the cards for me at least for awhile.

Liz, oh my that is beautiful and yes, I do love orange. That is about the prettiest rose I've seen. Thank you. You have a definite green thumb.

I wrote a huge comment to you on the other post about my feelings on the value of using the address. Take a look at the post I did regarding the multiple emails and the lovely responses. I devoted an entire comment just for YOU. Hope it helps.

Gena - It sounds and looks like you had an incredible time at the luncheon. I love the vivid colors that Carrie uses in her pictures - does she use watercolors or oils?

Judy, Claudia uses all mediums however, the ones in the photos are oils but she also uses watercolors and sculpts. She really is quite talented and has been in 1 woman shows as well as in groups with other artists.
