NOURISHING

Had a lovely time last Sunday at Pajaro Valley Arts Gallery.




It was the reception for the annual membership show, "What Nourishes Us," in which member artists pay tribute to the things that inspire and/or nurture their work.








For the last two-and-a-half years, James Aschbacher sat on the PVA board and managed the in-house Gallery Store.




So now, for the run of the membership show, (through July 15), they've turned the Gallery Store into a tribute room to my Art Boy!

The entire store space is full of art loaned to the gallery from the private collections of PVA members.



It's the biggest collection of his work you'll probably ever see, outside of my house!




Talk about nourishing! I was basking in the glow of his upbeat energy just being in the room!




(Okay, maybe it was the bubbly they plied me with . . . )

And while you're there, of course, don't forget to stroll around the rest of the show to see what inspires more than 70 local artists.





Cheers to James!









Big thanks to PVA!
