Ludolf Backhuysen was the leading painter of seascapes in Amsterdam during the last quarter of the 17th century. His earliest biographer declared that he was "taught by nature" and reported that he often put to sea when a storm threatened in order observe the changing conditions of sky and water.

"When the weather gods were at their least favorable was when he most loved to board

a boat and sail to the mouth of the sea.”

~ Arnold Houbraken, 1718—21

There are very few monsters who warrant

the fear we have of them.

Memories in the Making

Annual Art Auction

Colorado Alzheimer’s Association

Dove Valley

(Training facility for the Denver Broncos)

Saturday, June 13, 2014

 

Hoo Doo Village

by Jan Young

Seniors’ Resource Center

Evergreen, Colorado

 

We had three paintings in the auction this year.  Jan Young, who painted the one above,

is the only dementia artist I still have from when we started two classes of the program

in Evergreen 16 years ago!

Wow!!!

 

Katie Brooks and Timothy Flood

Timothy painted this palette for the silent auction.

He also has a sculpture in the Evergreen Sculpture Walk

and I had taken his picture just the week before!

 

Because Pat Bowlen, the owner of the Broncos, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s,

the team has become a very big sponsor of the Alzheimer’s Association.

The Memories in the Making Art Auction was the first public

event offered at Dove Valley.

 

 

Bronco Head Coach Gary Kubiak, Carolyn Alexander

How cool is that!

 

 

Elaine and Gary Sohrweid celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday.

Here, they are astonished by the BIG and gorgeous painting given to them by Larry’s twin brother, Gary Sohrweid!

100 Holes of Golf

Thursday, June 18, 2015

 

We had a gorgeous morning for our fun-filled, wacky golf fund raiser.

I got to just ride around in a cart and take pictures.

 

 

 

Our Center for the Arts Colorado golf team each came dressed as Van Gogh

with paint brush golf clubs.

 

Mark Vickstrom demonstrated one of the many different implements used!

 

 

This group was ready for lunch early and invited me to join them.

 

 

Sharron Leonard had a wonderful ice cream cake

for dessert at our Book Club Thursday afternoon,

right after the 100 Holes of Golf.

 

 

At the lake this morning, we stopped to watch the elk.

Actually, we had to stop because some of them were on the path

in front of us and you do not want to get between a mama elk and her baby!

 

 

This is a male yearling with little stubs of antlers growing.

 

 

This baby had trouble getting over the fence.

She finally managed to crawl under it.

Most drivers are good about stopping their cars for the elk.
