We were standing in the doorway of the gallery,
at the house at Silver Beach.
Along the walls, Dorothy's paintings
were interspersed with works of other artists
which Sid had collected in his over 40 years
of running a gallery in San Francisco.

"The gallery is central to our life together," Sid said.
"It took Dorothy and I a long time to get to this place,
but here we are."

Paintings, drawings, prints and photographs on every wall.
In the center, free standing sculptures.
Chairs and table with artists books and other small works of art.
Computer-mediated works of art
and continuously playing video art.
