Also, three connected literary works that address the meaning of life, the comparative value of competing fundamental influences in the course of life, the relationship of the living to death itself, and the potential for true birth through a recalibration of the emotive response mechanism according to an objective perception of increasing values of infinity. Also, simple porcelain hand-formed bowls, abstract sculpture made from driftwood, and quietly resonating ink and pencil works.

They have a quality, affordable…read morecollection of local art work that includes everything from pottery to scarves to furniture, paintings and more. There were some gorgeous preserved leaves mounted in Shadowboxes that were lovely as well as some sand paintings by another local artist. It was nice to see works done in some non-typical media. This place is actually huge too-it goes far back and there is an upstairs that is quite large as well. If you want unique pieces or want to just browse and get ideas for future home decorating this is the place to go. I took down some artist names for future reference and my experience here in this gallery is one of my standouts from my day in the town of Mendocino

Similar tone, but with a rough and dominating texture we would never have selected in a million years. Clashes with the refined print, compromising the entire piece. Perhaps the one we chose was unavailable and they substituted something else. Perhaps this seemed to them like a good solution rather than losing the sale entirely, as we live out of town and couldn't easily come in to make another selection, but we're crushed. We would much rather have received the print alone, with a refund for the frame that couldn't be provided.

It's just a couple hours from San Francisco. Of all the places my Dad visited and taught at around the world, Mendocino was his favorite place. It's a magical place perched above the cliffs facing the Pacific Ocean, just beyond the Headlands. There's a courtyard that connects each studio, the gallery at one end. There's paintings, pottery, photography, lithographs, glass sculptures, etc. During these times, the art center is closed but you can view current artists' work on their website. Some pieces are available for purchase. You can even see a little bit of its magic through the screen.

We spent one of our days casually strolling the downtown part of Mendocino, and searched for businesses we just had to check out. Of course, this means finding a good bookshop.

We are so loaded up on books (think stacks on stacks on stacks), but we wanted to support this business, so we bought a big candle and some fun stickers.

They also have a fairly good selection of men's bling as well, which I appreciate.
