Happy Star Wars Day everyone! But is it really May??? I took the photo above yesterday just north of Cochrane. Brrr! We actually saw a half-foot of snow this weekend but I must admit, it IS beautiful. The landscape here in the foothills of the Rockies inspires photography and painting. I just returned from The Cochrane Art Club Show and Sale held in the stunning Cochrane Ranche House perched majestically in the foothills north of town. With peaceful classical music setting the scene, local artists’ paintings depict local ranch life: sweeping landscapes, rodeos, wildlife and stunning scenes of horses running freely across the open prairie. Simply amazing! If you would like to see the works of our local Cochrane artists, please visit the Cochrane Art Club’s gallery here. Any one of these pieces would make your mantelpiece shine!
