Boulder Coke Mural! Boulder County’s Coke mural was painted by a true artisan. It’s the REAL THING! Discovery Discovered hidden behind a wall, this Coca Cola artwork is a masterpiece. It was hidden, buried behind a wall and preserved for decades. In spite of preservation efforts, the sign is now faded and peeling. It was […]

Boulder’s creative population includes a strong and vibrant Tibetan Buddhist culture as well as other people “playing with coloring books” to create mandalas. While the Monks create with colored sand, I use the much simpler tools provided by colored pencils along with “coloring book” ready to color mandalas. Comparing My Mandalas with Tibetan Sand Mandalas: […]

Leonardo Da Vinci is perhaps recognized more for his picture of  “Vitruvian Man” than he is for almost any of his other images. The Mona Lisa is more famous, but naming a third work by this genius of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the Renaissance, causes at least a little pause. The mathematical […]

As time marches forward, many relics of the past are left behind, and some are best forgotten – like pre-novacaine dentistry. Some things, however, are symbols of the elegance of a bygone age.

Boulder’s gem of a mall, world-class in its classiness, and there for all to enjoy, once again plays host to art. Today, Labor Day Sunday, is the last day for this year’s craft fair. We just hosted an art fair which served as a display platform for a gaggle of great artists with their creations. […]

Our target for the length of blogs is 500-1000 words. That number of words can magically appear very quickly! For example, the history of Labor Day, standing alone, would reach 500 words almost without me having to write it. As always, if you don’t love something presented by me, then most likely it is someone […]
