Last July while attending a conference in Denver, K and I ate at the Appaloosa Grill on 16th St. The food was upscale American, the place was way too noisy, and there was a lesbian couple hogging the ladies room. But the art – oh the art! I fell in love with this one piece by the far wall – so much that I asked K to pose so I could pretend I was taking a picture of him when I really wanted to get the painting.

Months later, I’m still thinking about that lovable painting. I put my online sleuthing skills to the test and finally found it and the artist! Her name is Grey Girl and her maker is Jeremy Charles Burns. His style is sweet, playful and unpretentious. Isn’t she so lovely? I’m trying to save enough money to get her as a Christmas/Birthday present for myself. Next time I’m in Denver, I’ll have to see if he’s showing anywere. And head to Appaloosa for a lunch date.
