Today’s AEDM (Art Every Day Month) adventure took us to downtown Paonia, Delta, and the Pour Farm in Hotchkiss. The cookie making is a bonus from a few days ago. First let’s look at Delta – a small town on the Western Slope of Colorado. Nearest “big” town is Grand Junction, and it’s 26 miles from where my daughter lives in Paonia. Our mission: retrieve a prescription from Walmart. My mission: take photos of the murals.
Murals in Delta, Colorado
An interesting mural is an Homage to Diversity.
I’m going to load the photos without captions because they tell their own stories.
This one has something neat – the flowers are numbered and the names of the flowers are numbered below, so you can identify them.
Ceramics
Karen and I took Annabelle and Jackson to the Pour Farm to paint ceramics. Love the name. The owner has hundreds and hundreds of molds and makes her own ceramics. She even mixes the sand and other ingredients. That’s pretty cool. So we painted.
The Pour Farm is in Hotchkiss. The owner is on the left, then Annabelle, Jackson and Karen.
Jackson is really concentrating.
I’m painting a turkey dish. Harder than it looks, actually! Mainly because you don’t really know what the colors will look like after it’s fired.
Cookies
Making cookies counts as art, right? Jackson, Annabelle and Cooper (next photo) decorate.
Cooper has a prime seat.
That does it. Tomorrow I fly home to Bakersfield, so tomorrow’s AEDM will be brief! I need to add how much I’m enjoying looking at everyone’s art and exchanging comments. What a wonderful group of people!
