Desc: Painting Bolinas: Directed by Wendy Elkin. Bolinas, California is an ocean-side town that teeters on the edge of the Pacific and the edge of the world, is a haunt not unlike a Steinbeck novel. It serves as the living backdrop for my film about a 90 yr. old artist, Peter Lee Brownlee, his zany friends and a woman who wants to save his paintings from ruination.
