Here is a blind contour drawing, done for the most part by drawing without looking at the page, in an airport lounge while waiting to board our plane. Thoughts on Denver: attractive city, nice combination of newer and older buildings, a vibrant art community, ranging from museums built by international architecture stars to a district with lots of artists studios and galleries, light rail and shuttle buses everywhere in contrast to many other US cities, decent food options, and of course a view of the immense Rockies in the distance whenever there's a gap between the buildings. In the coming weeks I'll be posting interviews with two artists from Denver, and also writing about some profoundly good art that I saw. Subscribe to Praeterita in a reader
