Summer just gets too busy in the mountains and I'm sorry I missed posting Pem Dunn's opening at the Elkhorn Art Gallery in Winter Park. His work is beautiful.

The show will be up until August 9th.

Don't forget they now sell art supplies at Elkhorn. Gary is interested in supplying what you need and will work with you on the price. How nice to not have to go to Denver or order online - give him a call at 726-9292.

There's one more opening coming up - Elizabeth Kurtak is having a solo exhibition at her gallery in Fraser on Friday, July 24th from 6-10pm. You can see images of her work here. Call 531-0230 for more information.

Enjoy your summer - it's going fast!
