ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH...AN ARTISTS PARADISE

        Back in the early 2000's we spent a short time in Colorado, namely Boulder and Estes Park.  If your not old enough to remember the 1960's, visit Boulder Colorado.  It is like a flash back to the old days where you can still see VW love vans with flowers and peace signs all over it, pop art and gray haired flower children walking around.

        There is of course rock climbing if that's your thing, it's not mine, I get sweaty palms just thinking about it, but the scenery is spectacular.  But I just wouldn't climb up there to paint it..

        We had friends there and they showed us every thing there was to see.  I always feel more creative when I'm in an environment like that, everything from sidewalk cafes to open air art galleries, it just gets the juices flowing.

        Below is the view you get of the Front Range Rocky Mountains while driving to Estes Park

        In the middle of Estes Park is Bear Lake, a beautiful lake way up in the mountains, it's like God painted it there

        Sitting right beside the lake is an old lodge, shown below, if it looks familiar it is the lodge they used when filming  The Shining in 1980, a psychological horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson.

        What a great place to visit and don't forget to take your paint and brushes.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY MY FRIENDS...ZMAKEY
