Canya Cañon Art Give Away!

This year on November 6th marks the annual fall fund raiser event for the Friends of North Cheyenne Cañon; and I'm a sponsor! My buddy Rick Hessek, who is a board member for FNCC and an incredible runner (like I'm talking 100 mile races!) asked me to design this years t-shirt for the Canya Cañon run/hike through North Cheyenne Cañon. I said sure, I'll come up with a design. Not only that, the painting I create for the t-shirt design, I'll give away to one lucky entrant! That's right, enter the event, get a cool t-shirt, go for a nice hike (it's a family friendly event so if you want to take your kids and just hike part of the trail that's totally cool!) afterwards enjoy a light lunch from event sponsor Edelwiess Restaurant and hang out to see if you win the painting! It's just that simple! The other totally cool sponsors for the event are the Runners Roost and Bristol Brewery. 

My painting is entitled, "Cañon Spire", measures 9" x 12", and is valued at $950. It is a depiction of the rock spire that sits on the right side of the road as you drive up. Look for the beginning of the Middle Columbine Trail section and that's the rock. To get the same view you'll have to scratch your way up the side of the cañon like I did. The painting is of course nicely framed with a double matte and wood frame.
