     Bravo for the first state to make recreational marijuana legal.

And I recall Breckenridge merchants complaining about the head

shops proliferating in the tourist part of town. Many, many shops.

So the forces of the city had them all move to the outer parts of town

where they would be found but not so noticeable. OK fine. But oddly,

they were all plunked down not far from a school. Ooops! Hello,

planning commission? Hello!!!

     Well after painting "Mendojuana County" and selling it to a dealer.

He paid us $4200 in twenties. Do you know how hard it is to count that

high with twenties?

     Recently I came up with the notion of doing a similar piece for Colorado.

And once I had the title, I selected some great Rocky Mountain reference

photos and I was off and running.

     This landscape with peaks toking away, one with a bong, was great fun

to do, the color hit me especially and I hope it will you too. It says something

about the mind set of the state, open and liberal but still majestic. Not too

mention the hundreds of millions of tax dollars rolling in.
