George Coll

 

When I first walked up to George's property, built in the 1920s at the base of Devil's Backbone, I was greeted by his Great Dane and a couple of Lama's! That doesn't happen everyday!!! George's Lamas actually work for him.  They pack up his art supplies and camping gear to some of the most beautiful places the West has to offer.  His paintings capture the light and beauty of these spots - and did you know he only sells originals?   He is a very welcoming sort who opens his studio up weekly for classes in figure and landscapes.  All I can say is, COME TOUR THIS STUDIO, you will not be disappointed!  You can check out more on his website, http://georgecoll.com/

I couldn't help but post this character hanging out on the studio roof - he just posed so nicely for me.
