Greystone Mansion is a 1928 Tudor Revival mansion designed by architect Gordon Kaufmann on a landscaped estate with distinctive formal English gardens, located in Beverly Hills. The 55-room, Tudor-style former residence, 46,000 sq ft (4,300 m2), is situated on 16 acres (6.5 ha) of land. The estate was a gift from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny to his son, Edward "Ned" Doheny, Jr., and his family. Following the purchase of the estate by the city of Beverly Hills in 1965, the property became a city park in 1971 and was subsequently added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The house's descending staircase is one of the most famous sets in Hollywood. At the time it was built, it cost over $4 million and was the most expensive home built in California up to that time.

Julio Panisello, the recipient of the Grand Prize and the Audience Choice Award in the 2016 Los Angeles Plein Air Festival, earned his BFA (cum laude) in Painting and a postgraduate degree in Pedagogy from the University of Barcelona, Catalonia. He has exhibited widely in Los Angeles and Spain including a solo exhibition with ShoeboxLA, THE LODGE, the Los Angeles Arboretum, the main branch of the New York Public Library, and Gallery 825. He is the creator of The Havisham Hour, a multi-media, visual arts and literature project based on Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, Julio with a P, a collection of recorded conversations with local artists, and the founder of Roofless Painters which hosts educational painting sessions in iconic locations. He lives and works in Los Angeles. www.juliopanisello.com
