We are thrilled to adorn our favorite wall (a curved radius wall painted “Uncertain Grey,” a color that is art in itself) with a three paneled abstract landscape painting by local artist Mary McKinley, professionally known as Mary Mack.

More photos will be posted when we get copies of them. We were so busy visiting with folks that we weren’t able to take any pictures!
