CSO Concert in Cheesman Park

It has become a tradition to attend the free Colorado Symphony Orchestra concert in the park and again Megan made one of her fantastic picnics. This year her sister, Katie, was visiting and joined us (see pic). Last year's concert rained out near the end and this year looked like it might also, but it held out and the symphony was able to play three selections:
Puts - Two Mountain Scenes
Copland - Suite from The Tender Land
Beethoven - Symphony No. 7
This year there was a man with an easel set up. He painted throughout the concert then held up the final product after the last piece. We walked up to take a closer look - not bad for less than 2 hrs of painting. It sort of had a Van Gogh feel to it.
