If you have a sharp eye, you'll notice that this vlog was filmed back in November. (I didn't have enough time to edit the footage before traveling, and then I got ill AGAIN. Argh!) Stay tuned for some upcoming December fun....

I’ve always wanted to go to Loveland and see the sculptures, so thank you! Beautiful painting too!

[@LauraGYoung]

Thanks, Darci! I wish I could've showcased all 200+ sculptures. They're all fantastic. If you ever head out this way, I know a few artists who could give you a tour. :)
