the paintings of artist
Michael L. Jacques
When you come in the front door of Bayside you will feel like you are in a completely different place. Yes, something has changed. Everything, quite literally, opened up. The walls have disappeared. More than ever, you will be surrounded by the wonderful aroma of great cuisine, the sound of live music, and the colors, shapes, and patterns of fine art.
