We both wanted to see lots of art while we were there so we went to several galleries and the Denver Art Museum. The main draw for me at the museum was a new exhibit by Fritz Scholder, one of my favorite American Artists. The exhibit was called, "A New Indian Image" and he had some fantastic paintings and prints on display.

The other exhibit we saw was an installation by Sandy Skogland called "Fox Games". The photo below is only a partial view of the entire piece. You can actually walk through the installation and experience this awesome scene as if you were in it. It was truly mind altering. It looked a little like "Maisie" dogs gone wild!

Last but not least, we went to one of our favorite cooperative galleries called, "Zip 37". We both really enjoyed the work of Denver Artist, Danyl Cook. Danyl had a solo exhibit which included several small 6" x 6" portrait paintings that we just loved. My favorite one was the one below, his self-portrait.

So now that I've been inspired by so many incredible Artists...I'd best get back to painting! Hope to show you some new work very soon.
