PaintingWe at CCLC believe that encouraging an artful appreciation and interpretation of the canyon leads to a more profound desire to conserve the canyon. Although THE CANYON AS ART is an evolving vision, we hope you will CONTACT us with your email address so that we can keep you informed.We anticipate some exciting projects such as sponsoring an annual Calendar Photo Competition and annual Journaling Competition, perhaps even an annual Painting Competition juried by a well known landscape or wildlife artist! If you are an artist who would welcome such an opportunity, please let us know!
Featured at her easel is Denver artist Leslie Allen. "Inspired at an early age by my grandfather to paint only from life,” she says, “I am drawn to plein air painting. I see paintings everywhere; I'm constantly painting in my head…I am immediately attracted to and inspired by colourful, intimate landscapes infused with light and shadow….” Leslie is represented by the Foothills Art Gallery in Golden.
