Exhibits: Black, white and wondrous

"Tide Pool, San Mateo Coast" is one of the black-and-white photographs by Alan McGee of Portola Valley on exhibit from Feb. 1 through 29 at the Portola Art Gallery at Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road in Menlo Park.

The exhibit, "Sermons in Sandstone," spotlights photographs taken along a stretch of the San Mateo County coast that Mr. McGee had visited many times over the last 40 years, but that he tried to see with "new eyes," according to a gallery news release. An artist's reception is set for Saturday, Feb. 2, from noon to 4 p.m.
