Mudflat Sanctuary and Museum

After I dropped put of school I did a painting of the duck hunting shacks off to the right to the entrance of the Bay Bridge. Bill and I had gone there after Mr. Arnold took us to the Army depot for a function we ditched. We cooked muscles in a old rusty can in a wrecked duck boat. We then lay down boards and made our way to one of these shacks. Suddenly, a man came out and told us to go back the way we came.

I did this painting in the half-shelter behind the house on Glendon. There was a fireplace and a Dutch door. Next to it was a queen avocado tree. It is about 3 1/2 feet by 6 1/2 feet. A replica of this hut was in a show at the Oakland Museum.
