Gallery Route One’s Annual BOX SHOW™ Opening Reception Saturday, August 16, 3-5 PM Closing Reception Friday, September 12, 5-7 PM. Bidding Ends Saturday, September 13, 10 AM
I am not doing a Box this year because I am tuckered out and after more then 20 years…. This is supposed to be my open, relaxing,see friends, slowdown August etc. but I did make up a little paper 10 box treasure hunt for children to do. There are more things cropping up kinda like this painting

The show of Wayne Thiebaud that is closing in days is an epic miracle. I ’m not kidding. I never read the papers on the wall, cause is never interesting but these were fascinating with his words on how it became the painting with him writing his own story. It’s really cool. It’s was made my day better than its rocky start. A great art show can be very comforting. Wayne and me I learned somethings.


September 1 MUSIC FESTIVAL there’s a really big fun benefit event day in the street of Bolinas and all over. Who doesn’t like a barbecue especially when it’s supporting your community center which is so giving and wonderful. I’m expecting to be a volunteer there and to have a really good time.
