Farewell to the Gallery at Marina Square

I regret to say that I have discontinued my artistic affiliation with the Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay, California but not the friendships I made with Jane and Greg who run the gallery. It has been a wonderful experience showing my work and selling some of it there. For now it is expedient that I take a break for financial reasons. It's a trim back and simplify thing.

This past weekend Barbara and I took a quick trip to Morro Bay to load the car up with all the art at the gallery and bring it home. We left Friday afternoon at 15:00 and drove as far as Mesquite, Nevada. Saturday morning we hit the road at 4:00 in the morning and rolled into Morro Bay by 12:00. We went straight to the gallery and loaded the car with art works. After exchanging farewells with Greg we spent the rest of the day getting cookies and visiting Moonstone Beach in Cambria and a few other things before going to dinner at the Sea Shanty in Cayucos. After dinner we took our only walk on the beach with Wesley our dog. We were up before 3:30 Sunday morning and on the road by 4:00. After a long day of driving and riding we rolled home by 19:00 MST. The roads were clear the whole way.

Now I will figure out what to do with all this artwork. Some of it I can squeeze into spaces on the studio walls and around the home.

The car loaded up with art.

Here is everything we hauled back home from Morro Bay, unpacked and ready to disperse around the home. Some of it may end up back in a box. Besides artworks there are postcard and greeting cards that hadn’t sold. None of the assemblage pieces I put in the show this past August sold. And I have not sold any of the framed print reproductions from the April show.
