Each morning in Boulder the sun rises. We know what time that will happen. We know what time dawn (before sunrise) will happen. We can expect the sun to rise at specific precise times. But does it really “rise?” Of course not! If it did, this blog would be finished already. Have I totally lost […]

Boulder Sunrise, like the Flatirons and the Foothills, never looks the same. Every time I look at the mountains, every time for over 49 years, they look different. Every photograph, painting, and other representation from earrings to necklaces is different. I love them all. Some are meditative, calm, while others are far more dramatic. A […]

A “Norman Rockwell Style” Saturday Evening Post Cover is classic. A painting of a painter painting themselves is a perspective employed by many of the greats over many years! It draws the viewer into the picture. It even has, in my opinion, an “Escheresque” quality to it. “Sublime” is a word I don’t use often. […]

The view of the sun lighting the Front Range and turning it red is truly heartwarming. Was Polonius right, when in Hamlet, giving […]

Do animals in Boulder and elsewhere admire scenery? Dogs? Buffaloes? Buffs? Interestingly the answer is “yes!” I can speak to dogs from personal repeated experience. Falkor was a border collie mix. She was rescued from Longmont Humane after 6 weeks or so living out in the cold in the winter as a young puppy. As […]

  It’s ironic that the Flatirons were both formed by uplifting, and are in fact uplifting. Symbol of Boulder, The Famous Flatirons. We say it at least once a day. We blog about it, paint it, and it is part of our visual daily existence. But WHAT ARE THEY? What are the Flatirons? The Boulder […]
