this exhibit. The hour and a quarter trip was incredibly
beautiful every blessed moment with the wide blue ocean, sea
stacks, bright green grass stretching into the hills and
valleys, and all those daffodils along the road!! We started to
feel like we were celebrating Spring allright and so thankful to
be in heaven! <br>

font-size:14pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)"> When we turned into the
grounds of the Gualala Art Center and parked the car, none of us
were prepared for the powerful effect of Micah's paintings.
Wow! It seems like the venue was made to show these very
paintings. Incredible, awe inspiring, deep, grand, soft and
very powerful, perfection, other worldly spacious, yet human and
recognizable, touching. As you will get the drift, I urge you
to go and see for yourself. The grounds themselves contain
sculptures and other art forms and provide inviting trails--nice
for your dog to come along after waiting patiently in the car.

and a drink. There is no food available at the Art Center, but
Gualala town has several choices. We went to a place called
Trinx, had tea and pastries, before driving back in time for the
setting sun over the ocean. <br>

experience Micah's extra-ordinary gift to all. Thanks for
reading and warm regards. With love,<br>
