If you’re out and about peeking into buildings as part of the Doors Open Denver tour this weekend, please stop by Citizen Pictures at 2800 Speer Boulevard. It’s an unusual space (the roof fascinates me) and I’m pleased to have several paintings hanging on their walls right now.
From the website:
Doors Open Denver is an annual celebration of Denver’s built environment and design. During the free two-day event, you can tour the spectacular buildings you see every day but may never have entered. You will truly experience and develop a new appreciation for your home town and the sites that comprise Denver’s rich architectural landscape.
One of the buildings on the tour this weekend is Citizen Pictures.

I have about 20 paintings hanging in this very interesting building, thanks to the wonderful Brianna Martray and the nice folks at Citizen Pictures. One of the paintings hanging there is My Blue Heaven, pictured below.

I wish I were somewhere near Denver, I would definitely go look at your paintings face to face.
Thank you very much, Yevgenia. I enjoyed looking at the watercolors on your blog- the cherry blossoms are particularly appealing to me. You have a wonderful touch with that tricky medium.
