Nathaniel and I are home all week for Spring Break, although my teachers still had assignments for me to complete. One of my assingments is to write a paper on a figurative artists, there was no way I would drive to Denver, not with these gas prices. So, my figure drawing teacher recommended the Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs, but they are renovating for new works. Then she recommended The Hayden-Hays Gallery at the Broadmoor. So, Nathaniel and I packed our water bottles, notebook and camera and off we went to visit the Broadmoor. Too bad I had not washed or vacuumed my van, but we drove up to the Broadmoor and again we were treated like royalty. Nathaniel and I looked like throwbacks from the 80's; Nathaniel with his Pink Floyd sweatshirt and me with my old faded blue skirt and sandals. Thank God we blended with the people in designer clothes, oh well. The galleries at the Broadmoor are great. The gallery directors were professional and very kind; they were helpful with my assignment and allowed us to take photos. I will be doing my paper on "Drying Peppers" by Kim English. The colors, lights and the figure on this piece caught my attention at first glance.
