Joe Norman may have too much time on his hands. Here's a video he's shared showing the effects of Stay-At-Home on artists who have studios and tools locked up in shared work spaces. Don't worry, we're checking in on him regularly. #ConeOfShame #ArtistsAtHome #StayAtHome #SaveALife #JoeNorman

Leo Osborne's PPE

4/29/2020

Fortunately Leo is on Guemes Island with little contact with others since we're pretty sure his mask does not conform to safety standards. Most of Leo doesn't conform, so we also are not surprised. Thanks for the smile! #PPEnot #IslandHumor #LEOeOsborne #WearYourMask #StayAtHome #SaveALife

In the Studio : Joe Norman Home Edition

What happens when you have an engineer/artist dad (Joe Norman), a bright young girl and a 3D printer to make prototypes during a stay-in-place order? Construct a icosahedron fort! What an awesome homeschool project!! We've got our eyes on Abby, she's going places already. From Joe:

Icosahedron Fort by Abby and Joe Norman

What happens when you have an engineer/artist dad (Joe Norman), a bright young girl and a 3D printer to make prototypes during a stay-in-place order? Construct a icosahedron fort! What an awesome homeschool project!!

We've got our eyes on Abby, she's going places already. Also, I want a play day in that fort!

From Joe: "Attached are some photos of me and Abby learning about icosahedrons and building her new fort in the backyard, after prototyping it with 3D printed sockets we designed that fit Q-tips as structural members. We then used 2x4's and door hinges to make the full size version."

In geometry, an icosahedron is a polyhedron with 20 faces. The name comes from Ancient Greek εἴκοσι, meaning 'twenty', and ἕδρα, meaning 'seat'. There are infinitely many non-similar shapes of icosahedra, some of them being more symmetrical than others.

The Kiss - Loveland Version

2/28/2020

Make sure you check out the latest community mural by our artist Scott Freeman while visiting Loveland’s art scene. “THE KISS” – Loveland Version, 15 x 15 feet. “2020 is our fourth year to create a giant community art piece in downtown Loveland, Colorado. For the design each year I’ve spoofed a famous fine art painting, giving each one a Valentine’s Day twist and a nod to Loveland. This year I chose Austrian painter, Gustav Klimt, and his iconic 1908 painting, The Kiss. If you look closely you can see Dan Cupid aiming his arrow at the couple. Dan Cupid is the character who shows up in the special postmark each year for Loveland’s famous valentine re-mailing program. He’s kind of a Loveland mascot, at least around Valentine’s Day, so he made his way into the design this year.” -Scott Freeman #CommunityMural #ScottFreeman #Loveland #Colorado #TheKiss #Klimt #GustavKlimt #AfterKlimt #AroundLoveland #PaintByPanel #Mural #DowntownLoveland #Art #Community @ Loveland, Colorado

Victorian Valentine

2/14/2017

We've displayed our collection of around 100 vintage Victorian Valentines throughout the gallery, in part to celebrate the heart-felt holiday, also because we were the selected site for a lovely couple's proposal. We are all thrilled that she said 'YES'. Fine art makes a great backdrop for romance. Columbine Gallery hopes love and art fills your heart this February.

We are all thrilled that she said 'YES'. Fine art makes a great backdrop for romance. Columbine Gallery hopes love and art fills your heart this February.

Some excerpts from the cards:
"The world is filled with flowers, the flowers are filled with dew, the dew is filled with love. For you, and you, and you."

"May all the Valentine days to come bring to you the loving thoughts and good wishes that will make you happy."

"There is a little secret, I am wishing to impart: If you listen very closely, you will learn who is my sweetheart."

"I'm lost in admiration as I gaze upon thy graceful form, for beauty glows in thy fair face, and all thy movements charm."
