Before Mary Kay West was ever a painter, she was a dog lover. But now as an art instructor, she thinks back to the slogan of the TV show Pit Bulls and Parolees. The host always said something like, “I rescue dogs so one day I don’t have to.” “That’s how I feel about my students,” West told the Sun. “Sometimes I feel like I’m saying the same thing a million times, but I’m sharing this information so one day I won’t have to.” Meet the painters Join the Central Coast Art League crew for an opening reception on Nov. 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Bob’s Well Bread, 2449 Baseline Ave. in Ballard.
