Art in San Francisco, Spring 2016
An inspiring special exhibit of Pierre Bonnard at the Legion of Honor till May 15: https://legionofhonor.famsf.org/pierre-bonnard
Gave me the courage to try new media for the cover of my latest book, on teaching chess to age 3-90+ (see next blog post for details)
Most exciting of all were the murals on Balmy Alley in San Francisco. Balmy Alley is a one-block-long alley that is home to the most concentrated collection of murals in the city of San Francisco. It is located in the Mission District of the City. Since 1973, every building on the street has been decorated with a mural and many children in San Francisco have visited it in school groups as part of their studies of the history and art of this great city. The rest of this blog post is picture I took there, and here is the website so you can visit it yourself:

What a garage door, eh?
Thank you for watching.
