    McKinley Art Solutions at Hotel Triton: David Barnett.

    Review by RWM: Fun show about The City by the Bay. Wonderful use of colors which elicits sentiment and introspection. The palettes are a bit overpowering at times, but enjoyable. One will find here a nice collection of works that could be in a visitor's guide to San Francisco, entertaining and a good place to play. Downstairs in the lobby there are also some nice pet portraits on display.
