This past Friday, Kim and I joined our friends Matt and Jami for First Fridays gallery walk in Fort Collins. If you haven't ever done a gallery walk or visited any of the gallerys on first Fridays I suggest you give it a try. The selection might not always be what you are expecting, but its usually very interesting. Most cities have something similar. In Fort Collins, they open the gallerys till 9 every first Friday of the month. Some of them have snacks and wine also. Its a great way to take in the local culture and its free. I hope to make it down to Denver for their first fridays some time and visit some of the great artists along the Santa Fe Arts district.

For this one I went back to the usual Acrylic on canvas. Its hard to beat acrylics for ease of use and good color. Many people love oils, and I would like to use them again, I haven't since college. This painting is larger then the past few at 20" by 48".
