My wife’s birthday is coming up, and since she’s an artist I thought I’d honor the creative spirit alive and well in her and in so many others in the Bay Area.  I decided to highlight some art-related FREE events and entertainments going on around here.  There's a lot to do since there is a thriving creative community from one end of the bay to the other working in as many medias as you can imagine; so get out there, have a good time and enjoy some good art!

22 Windsor will be open this Sunday.  Don't just take a look at the house.  Walk around the neighborhood and see how wonderful it is to live in Kensington.  Remember, the price has been reduced to $860,000.  Last Sunday  a lot of admiring people came through. Don't miss a chance to see this gorgeous place!

My latest listing in Albany 1110 Cornell might be open from 2 til 4 this Sunday.  I'll keep you posted.  There's been a lot of interest in this house, and we'll be hearing offers soon.
