My starting point for this project was flowers. My client loves flowers but in particular orchids. In fact, she gave me my first orchid. My personal goal is to have at least one orchid blooming at all times in my home. If I find I have none blooming I begin my search and usually come […] […] The Signature Shop is in Broadmoor Main. Items which have a Broadmoor Logo can be found there. When I was asked to design and hand paint an arch for the Signature Shop entrance I thought it would be done in the same color scheme as the arches I had painted in the Golf Clubhouse. When I […] […] My thought process in creating the first of four hand painted archways for the Broadmoor was to create continuity between the original artwork in the Main building, which was painted in 1918, and the newly constructed areas. Many of the artists were brought to Colorado by train from New York to work when the hotel […] […] Saturday evening after Thanksgiving is a special time at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs. This is the evening of the annual White Light Tree Lighting Ceremony and this year was very special in that it is their 90th anniversary.

Bailey and Bella walk several times a week and Bella finally lets Bailey get within a few inches of her. What an improvement over the way she used to charge at every dog in sight […] […] Autumn and all its splendor is such a glorious time of year. Colors of green, gold, burgundy, warm browns, yellow, orange, and red fill the landscape. The Colorado Aspens, interspersed among the tall pines on the mountainside, have brilliant golden leaves in the fall and with the slightest breeze they seem to glisten in the sunlight. This really […] […] Memorial Hospital for Children, in partnership with The Children’s Hospital is located at Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs and houses a Level IIIb NICU which is able to take care of the most fragile newborns. This hospital has some of the most professional nurses and doctors, men and women, I’ve had the privilage of meeting. It was an honor […] […] Well here I go again, coloring outside of the box. Recently I decided to advertise on a website at the recommendation of a dear friend. After emailing for information I received a phone call from a very Spirited woman by the name of Nancy Mills who produces that website, The Spirited Woman. It was only […] […] |
