Frederick Hart sculptures, Robert Hagan, David Devary paintings. 2. "Nature" Gallery includes landscapes and water and trees and nature. 3. "Museum" Gallery includes museum quality images, museum quality artists, museum quality frames. Artists include Dali, Miro, Goldfinger. 4. "Abstract" Gallery includes vibrant and pure color with light bleeding out of the paintings. Favorite artist: Britten. Brilliant. I frequently have friends and clients who want me to help them choose art. They know I am an artist and that I am an art lover. I am always looking for great art, great artists, great galleries... and I have opinions. Josephine, the Gallery Director, welcomed me with a big smile and questions about what brings me to her gallery...? She runs the place so if you are lucky enough to be there when she is there, engage her in a conversation about art. RE #1: seeing the price people are willing to pay to watch the cowboyhatted Marlboro Man ride of into the sunset just boggles my mind. If you like that stuff, C. Anthony seems to have a great array. RE #2: quality oils, large canvases, beautiful images. RE #3: research this stuff before you buy it. "Dali" is a big name but at the end of his life he really sold out. He became a "signature" artist, much like a worn out football player who signs footballs to make money when he is retired. I understand that he would have someone else pull prints of his work, hundreds and hundreds of them, then he would sign his name, and it was like printing money. This is why it is not hard or expensive to now buy an "original" Dali. Many galleries rely on you not knowing this information. When I see a Dali in a gallery, one eyebrow always rises, uncontrollably. They also had an unsigned Renoir etching and it is very expensive, but ask the question, because the answer determines the value... "When was the etching pulled? Where? Did Renoir pull it? Was he alive when it was pulled?" Lots of people spend lots of money on this "Museum" stuff. Buyer beware. I did not have an opportunity to engage Josephine about these issues because she was welcoming a potential client. I am sure she has done some research. If you are considering the Museum gallery, ask... "Were these prints pulled by the artist?" The artist "Goldfinger" does to classical art and realism what Milli Vanilli did to music. RE #4: Currently featured artist Britten creates works that allow saturated color and light to bleed from the canvas. Her work is beautiful and powerful and lovely and needs to be appreciated and discovered by more people. If you are debating between a Britten or a Goldfinger, stop debating.

I had the frame but no glass, no backing, & no hanging gear. I found Affordable Art & Frame online and I am so thankful I did. Rick was so helpful.

I will definitely be returning to Affordable Art & Frame for my future pieces. Thank you so much, Rick! We're really happy with the end result.

Also Martin who works at the gallery is one of the best people I have ever met; he is such a joy. I would recommend if anyone wants a truly unique piece of the Vail Valley while on vacation to bring home with them to go here. You will not find a more beautiful selection of jewelry anywhere else.

We decided to take a drive to discover more of western Colorado. While driving on West 70 toward…read moreDillon Reservoir we stopped to see Georgetown. It's a quaint town. The kind of place I imagine people don't lock their homes or cars. After a late, delicious breakfast at Happy Cooker, we took a stroll down the main street (6th Street). One of the places that caught our eye was Georgetown Gallery. It shares a front door with Georgetown Coffee & Tea. We're not big on visiting galleries because they either have outrageous prices or the art is so bizarre or ornate it's nothing we would consider putting in our home. But Georgetown Gallery is different. It is made up of several mini-galleries from artists who make unique, affordable, and very tasteful pieces. If I had unlimited funds, I would have needed two men and a small boy to carry out all the pieces of art I would have purchased! The artisans also take turns staffing the place. On this day we got to meet Karen Heber. A retired school teacher turned painter and potter. We purchased one of her lithographs. (It's the one she shows on the gallery's website.) There were a few others we also liked but our budget wouldn't allow us to buy everything we liked. Karen's pottery was beautiful and cool, but we bought a piece of pottery from another artist to fit the decor of a friend's home. Between you and me... this gallery is VERY affordable and many of the pieces are a BARGAIN! We expected the piece of pottery we bought to easily be around $35. When Karen said it was $18 we just looked at each other like "Okaaaay, wrap it up!" All-in-all it was a pleasure to speak with Karen, learn about her art and the local history, and take our time looking around the gallery without being pressured. I'm sure we'll be visiting the gallery again around Christmastime when the town has special holiday festivities.

Today I decided to head a little ways into the mountains to check out supposedly Victorian Georgetown just off I70. The historic district, while small, does have charm. It's worth the detour. After scoping out the shops I was immediately drawn to Grizzly Creek Gallery. To my surprise, the guy helping the people already in the shop was the owner/photographer Gary Haines. (Good luck running into Mangelsen at one of his galleries.) He's warm and friendly, has some great work and (best of all) he's got some reasonable prices. He's also a local. Support Colorado artists! After selecting a print it turned out he's also an expert framer. Ever been to Fast Frame? Wow, expensive! Even Hobby Lobby adds up quick. Gary framed the print in a gorgeous barn wood frame (he gets them from a friend in South Dakota) for less than Hobby Lobby's ordinary boring stuff. Thanks, Gary! Will be back on a regular basis to check out your new work.
