CASTLE ROCK – Village Homes is cordially inviting the public to view watercolor dream homes painted by fifth grade students on display today in one of three beautifully decorated model homes at the Watercolor neighborhood in The Meadows at Historic Castle Rock™. The fifth grade students at Soaring Hawk Elementary School were asked to paint their idea of the “picture perfect dream home”, and dozens of students happily responded. Those who attend today’s event can vote on their favorite paintings, with Village Homes providing a special reward to the winning student.

“The “Artisans of Watercolor” display will run from Saturday, April 22nd through the end of the month. Visitors to the Watercolor neighborhood at this master-planned community can view these paintings on display today in the basement of the beautiful Santa Clara model home. Village homes donated supplies for this very fun project, including watercolor paint. Parents, students and the general public will also enjoy refreshments at today’s event. So visit the Watercolor neighborhood today, enjoy this artistic display and tour three gorgeous showhomes while shopping for your “picture perfect dream home” in this amenity-rich community.

“The elementary school students tackled this project very gleefully and the paintings show impressive creativity,” said Natasha Nola, Community Manager for Village Homes at Watercolor. “It’s such a fun project and the kids had a great time. Visitors will also have a great time shopping for a new home at Watercolor. We have new homes ready for immediate move-in and others scheduled for completion throughout the spring and summer.
