Four galleries in 4 attached spaces with one name... redefines "onestopshop"…read more.. 1. "Western" Gallery includes lots of cowboys and horses and landscapes with cowboys and horses. 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.

From the owner: The seeds of our gallery, Horton Fine Art, were planted back in 1980 on the island of Bermuda. Walt…read moreHorton, my husband, had always had a very lively, creative side and, on moving to the island, we established an advertising agency. It was a very short journey for Walt to become the island's favorite cartoonist with a cartoon strip in the Royal Gazette and marketing campaigns for the local police, education and environmental departments. Moving to Colorado in 1992 we intended on continuing with what was working so well when Walt fell in love with bronze sculpture. His background as a cartoonist, - story telling, capturing, animation and emotion and his innate ability to make people smile - took his artwork leaps and bounds. It wasn't long before Walt became a beloved bronze artist. With representation in some of the country's finest art galleries the signature piece "Repentance" and the classic "Rhodent Scholars" attracted international attention and are still sought after today. In 2007 we opened our own gallery in Beaver Creek, Colorado, including other artists we are proud to represent. In that same year the unthinkable happened - Walt passed away. When you visit Horton Fine Art today you will be thrilled to see there are still some editions of Walt's work available. Our goal is to have a collection that makes our visitors delight in returning again and again to see what's new - and to take home a piece of art that they will treasure forever.

He was wearing an Ohio State t-shirt. I asked him if he was from Columbus...? Yes, recently moved to Colorado. I asked him if he knew the Dorrian family, because that is what i ask everyone from Columbus. YES, political, right, Democrats? Hugh was the City Treasurer, and his daughter is a good friend from college and she is a judge there... Is her name Julia? Yes! OH, yes, i sat for a traffic ticket with her, wore a suit and everything, didn't get out of it, but was SO impressed with her. She is an extremely fair judge and it completely renewed my belief in the system working. She is very fair and I completely trusted that she came to the correct conclusion. Small world.) (Fifteen minutes after leaving the gallery, I get a phone call from my credit card company saying I had left my card here. Jeff had called them immediately! I returned and he apologized and gave me my card. Awesome guy.)

He helped me pick a perfect border and frame and had it done for me super quickly. The store is also amazing, they have just about every surface covered in frame samples; you'll never want for more variety, they have you covered. I will say though, it seemed a bit pricey to me, but this is the first time I've ever gotten something framed this way so I'm not exactly the authority on this.
