This was a happy surprise! Here is my acrylic piece, "Little One", hanging at the Western Rendezvous Show hosted by the Spanish Peaks Arts Council in LaVeta, Colorado. Thanks to Cheryl St.
John, show judge, who awarded "Little One" 1st Place. This show will hang until end of July.
Home to the Spanish Peaks Arts Council Gallery - open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays 11 - 3; Saturdays 10 - 3, La Veta is a great destination town for summer trips in Colorado. They enjoy some of the prettiest landscape in southern Colorado and the town itself has several galleries, the Fort Francisco Museum, a wonderful bakery, and Charlie's market for ice cream and fabulous deli sandwiches.; worth the trip.
Our first meeting on July 1st will be at the Alamosa Family Recreation Center and will include a paint-a-long demo. Bring your painting toys, and I will have schedules with all of the locations for where we will meet in the weeks ahead.

If you have not yet been into the Narrow Gauge Bookstore, at the corner of State and Main - grab your mask and treat yourself. GO! enjoy!
Back in February 2018 when the Narrow Gauge was closing after 40 years in the valley, the loss seemed insurmountable but not to a group of folks who had the vision for a community run store to sell new and used books. Julie Mordecai, one of the original visionaries said, " Bookstores can be a place where people can gather and learn and write and buy books and create community. I don't want to lose the anchor in downtown Almosa. But we're going to need help and volunteers."
That was just the beginning.
This gem of a store is now a showplace in the valley where they
beautifully curate new and used books, a great assortment of local
goods, foods, and cards, - but they also highlight authors and artists of
the San Luis Valley. Read more about the Narrow Gauge at: https://www.narrowgaugebooks.com/
