Since this was my first visit to the Clyfford Still Museum, I'm going to be writing about the museum itself and the amazing art you will find there. Still was an amazing artist, a pioneer and an extraordinary person. I think I could probably write pages and pages about him, but I would like to learn more about him first. So, for now I will write mostly about our first trip to the museum. I have been going to the Denver Art Museum for years but I never even realized that right next door, on the west side of the DAM is an amazing museum dedicated to one of the original abstract expressionists.

Last fall, my family and I took a trip to Northern Colorado for one of my daughter's softball games in Ft. Collins. After the game we took a quick drive through Ft. Collins and then had lunch.

After a hot day at the softball game, we thought the cool air conditioning the mall shops might be a nice choice to wrap up the day so we decided to head south 20 minutes to the Loveland exit at higway 34. Once we arrived at the Loveland exit we decided to head toward the Promenade Shops at Centerra off of Hwy. 34 and Centerra Parkway. As we drove we noticed some signs for a sculpture park and when we parked at the Macy's parking lot we saw another sign for the sculpture park so we decided to walk to the somewhat hidden path near the far corner of the lot.
