Larry's Retirement Part 3

With encouragement from fellow staff members my retirement party from the San Geronimo Valley Community Center also became my solo art reception. One of my primary duties at the Center was the role of Visual Arts Coordinator. I put on hundreds of art shows but always felt with all the artists waiting their turn it would be inappropriate to take a slot for myself.  It would be my last art hanging at the Center and it was suggested the title should be "Larry Hangs it Up".

What evolved was a sort of broad retrospective that included my youthful cartooning days and my relatively more recent printmaking.

The retirement party was a wonderful gratifying event.

And I really enjoyed. seeing my decades old comic art 



    

Here's my attempt at a video tour of the exhibit:
