We have great neighbors in Cypress Village. Some have been in the complex a number of years, some are brand-new. We look forward to introducing them to you over the weeks and months to come, in many cases as we get to know them ourselves!

Right next door to the future Four-Eyed Frog is Craig Gilliland’s inviting, new Spindrift Gallery. Spindrift Gallery features Craig’s original paintings as well as those of artists Mark Taylor and Sarah Waldron. The Gallery also features fine art crafts from award-winning gourd vessels to handmade baskets. You’ll find Artist Edition cards, coasters and gift items created exclusively for Spindrift Gallery by Gilliland and the Gallery’s other artists.

You can visit Spindrift Gallery Thursday through Sunday, 11AM to 5PM. The phone number is 707-884-4484. Look for their new website in September — www.spindriftgallery.com.

A personal note: We have no wall space left in our home. Nonetheless, we were so smitten by one of Craig Gilliland’s award-winning paintings at this year’s Art in the Redwoods that we bought it anyway. Be prepared to love what you see!
