War time. Difficult to see
what I wanted to see.
Gile had moved to Tiburon;
Gay to Monterey.
Logan was one of the few painters
allowed to paint the East Bay waterfront.
He had a letter from the Navy.
Some artists were detained by the Army
for painting in the hills during the War.
But perhaps because I was a war widow.
no one ever stopped me.
