Festival at the Farm mixed media on paper 12 x 9 inch available here |
My husband Vic and I have this saying that we say nearly every morning to each other and that is..."it's another ridiculously gorgeous day in Colorado!"
It is the truth...sunshine nearly every day. The mornings are filled with sweet mountain air. It is hard to be in a bad mood here.

We recently went to the Lilac Festival near Denver and there was this sweet family dancing barefoot in the grass to the bluegrass band that was playing. I did what many artists do and made a strong mental note of that image then went home to paint it.
The band was SO good...my second time to see them. We sat for two hours just listening to them and people watching. You can see the band's site
HERE.
Along with family and friend visits, hikes, and lots of reading, I have been learning to play guitar this summer. Not an easy task for this middle age woman, but I love that I am learning something new. It is good for the mind!
Hurley is enjoying his summer too.
And I hope you are as well! Until next time!
