I found this place on Google maps by total accident and then I saw it on the road when I drove by and I loved it. I arrived in, received me with tons of hospitality. They were extremely nice and all the paintings are pretty awesome. I’m not much of an artist guy myself, but I enjoyed this local gallery. Just come by…

They were extremely nice and all the paintings are pretty awesome. I’m not much of an artist guy myself, but I enjoyed this local gallery. Just come by to meet Sam and look at some of his paintings. I’ll probably come back at some other time with my wife to check it out and see what she likes.

Had a really fun time looking at all the creative work in the Rabbit Hole! It is a fun addition to the antiquing we were doing today! There are other artists shows here, too. I felt like I was in LA at a Sunset Blvd gallery! What a fun spot to adventurer to in Sebastopol.
