The Artwork:
Bursting with energy and soul, this years painting captures a sun-drenched summer day in the heart of Colorado. Two jazz musicians take center stage, set against the iconic backdrop of majestic mountain peaks and the historic charm of Telluride Main Street. Around them, the streets come alive as dancers spill into the scene, swept up in the celebration. It's a tribute to the magic of the mountains that make Telluride the most beautiful place on earth.
