celebrating nature's bounty each and every day. We are blessed to live in a place with such tremendous access to stunning Colorado scenery. My family recently celebrated my wife's birthday by exploring snowy Rocky Mountain National Park with our kids. Spending time in nature is one of our most favorite ways to enjoy our weekends, and every time we visit a place like Rocky, I feel a sense of gratitude for the men and women who work to preserve the wild places. I encourage all of our readers to purchase state and national park passes, as we do, to help support the management of these lands.

In this issue, we find beauty in all things nature in many ways. On our cover, we explore nature-based art through the Governor's Art Show and bring intention back to our community experiences with The Botanique and share with you a few tips and tricks on "going green."

Fort Collins Lifestyle | April 2019

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE ITALY OF YESTERYEAR, WHERE ONE CAN STROLL QUIETLY ON TWISTING COBBLESTONE PATHWAYS, THERE IS A CHARMING NICHE OF TUSCANY THAT PROVIDES ALL THAT AND MORE. Exploring the nearby province of Lucca, visitors walk through the tiny town of Barga, as well as the medieval walled towns of Castiglione and

+

Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.

Hiking in this lush, mountainous region is a popular pastime. At 20 minutes from the property, La Grotta del Vento is the deepest cave in Europe. Mount Forato is a huge, perfect natural arch connecting two peaks along a mountaintop crest. It is a unique, spectacularly beautiful panoramic view 30 minutes from the hotel.

While any trip to Italy naturally involves gastronomy, this region takes its cuisine very seriously. It is famed for such dishes as pasta made of chestnut flour and ribollita (country-style bread, cabbage and vegetable soup.) Desserts might include such delights as “castagnaccio con ricotta” (chestnut-flour cake with ricotta cheese) or “semifreddo al croccantino” (crunchy nut parfait.)

Cheese lovers might choose a visit to the family-owned Bertagni Cheese Factory, just 20 minutes from the hotel in Castelnuovo di Garfaganana at La Pieve. At the market, I sighed over the brilliant tomatoes and the tissue paperwrapped oranges—beautifully bright and beckoning.

This is what Italy feels like when it is not thronged with tourists; it’s a place where life is slow and food, friends and family are relished and savored. Family and friends are honored and embraced, and everyone greets others with not one, but two kisses. Go, and you will slow down too—con gusto!

GET THE LOOK: While it makes for some incredible Instagram stories, you'll need to act fast when working with an opulent floral headpiece. Even the freshest and perkiest flowers will start to wilt as they come into contact with body heat. You can turn any flower of any size into a statement hair accessory with the right tools. Secure larger petals to bobby pins and combs using wire; daintier blooms can be temporarily glued into place using eyelash adhesive. To complete your look, add something timeless, like a classic leather jacket with floral embroidery. A metallic blue eye pencil on the waterline adds a punk edge to any photoshoot.

When we think about eco-conscious living, we often do so without correlating luxury WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ECO-CONSCIOUS LIVING, WE OFTEN DO into that description.

SO WITHOUT CORRELATING LUXURY

INTO

THAT

DESCRIPTION.

But as we progress as a society that not only cares for our environment but also strives to be as intentional as possible, we are able to experience the best of both worlds. The Botanique Fort Collins is just that. This intentionally curated community and wellness boutique is based on what is known as the EcoRenaissance movement which thrives on combining fun, sexy and fashionable elements to a global awakening that doesn't ask you to sacrifice it all just to care for Mother Earth.

At the Botanique, the goal is integration of the arts, stewardship of our land and connecting sacred space with intimate wonder. They hope to be the locale our community goes to not only for healing and eco-conscious living but also to experience events that are meant to connect us back to ourselves and our responsibility to live our best lives with a community filled with collaboration.

the botanique’s mission The Botanique's mission is to do all of this by continually enhancing its experiences and offerings while minimizing its own carbon footprint.

Through its collaboration with the youth-driven nonprofit SproutIn Up (SproutInUp.com), children utilize the grounds of the Botanique to grow, learn and develop conscious farming skills. The children grow vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers and raise chickens and bees to provide healthy local choices for individuals and families that participate in SproutIn Up's CSA share. These same young farmers create a business plan, develop life skills and work ethic that empowers them to give back to their local community by providing free farmers markets in food-insecure neighborhoods in addition to their CSA members.

GOVERNOR’S ART SHOW COLORADO ARTISTS SHARE THEIR AWE OF THE NATURAL WORLD AT THE STATE’S LARGEST JURIED ART SHOW ARTICLE NICOLE YOST "Morning Mist" by Tal Walton 24

Fort Collins Lifestyle | April 2019

"Wolf" by Beth Appleton

ALBERT EINSTEIN SAID, “LOOK DEEP INTO NATURE, AND THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING BETTER.” Few take a deeper look than the landscape artist, who must meticulously study the light, color and dimensions of their subject to translate it for the viewer. In an awe-inspiring environment like Colorado, it’s no surprise so many of the world’s best make their way here. The 28th annual Governor’s Art Show and Sale—one of the state’s largest juried fine art shows—will bring together dozens of fine artists from across the state.

“The show’s raison d’etre of advancing artists and lifting people has brought pleasure to our attendees for decades,” says John Kinkade, co-chair of the Governor’s Art Show committee. “We have some beautiful works of art for this year’s show.”

Many of these painters and sculptors have become masters at representing and recreating the environment, communicating a respect and love for nature where words fall short.

“I want the viewer to experience what I experience, to have the connection to a place—not just how it looks, but how it feels,” says Michael Baum, an oil painter who specializes in the Western landscape. “The landscape lets us know who, what and where we are.”

Michael will be showing four paintings, including an early-evening view of Pikes Peak and a mountain landscape in Rocky Mountain National Park where he’s hiked several times. Both capture the state’s natural grandeur.

“The play of light across the landscape is sensual and spiritual,” he says. “But it’s not just the purely visual that I’m going for. It’s also the feel of a place, how it digs deep into the heart and soul.”

ARTIST’S PALETTE

(CON TI N U ED)

1.

With the time demands and constant connectedness of the modern world, the 2018 Best of Show winner, painter Tal Walton, finds peace and inspiration in the more contemplative aspects of nature—a simple weathered barn, a quiet empty field, trees standing in an unusual formation—things that are there, day after day, just “waiting to be noticed.” This year, he’ll be showing a series called American Landscapes.

“I enjoy painting subjects that give me the opportunity to look inward at where I’ve been as well as giving me an opportunity to slow down in a fast-paced world, spending more time with simpler things that help keep me grounded in what’s truly important,” he says.

Tal utilizes an old-world painting process to depict his landscapes and scenes, involving marble grounds, gold leaf and ancient recipes for painting materials. His style, however, leans more toward the contemporary and impressionistic. The combination evokes the sense of past, present and future.

“When it comes to nature, I don’t even attempt to recreate something so complex and yet so profound,” he says. “Rather, my hope is to instill in the viewer a sense of wonder and desire to look deeper for a greater understanding of what is all around us and at

2.

times readily accessible.”

Other Colorado artists find inspiration in the way nature interacts with the built environment. Denver-based pastel and oil painter Desmond O’Hagan is a master of the urbanscape. Of the many things that elevate his city scenes is how he incorporates organic elements, like light and foliage, into the sharp lines of the city.

“My eye is attracted to the effect of light and energy,” he says on his website. “The moment that turns your head and makes you take a second look. Everything is a combination of abstract shapes that combine to form a representation of life.”

View the work of these artists—and many others—at the Governor’s Art Show, which will run May 4 through June 2 at the Loveland Museum, 503. N. Lincoln Ave. A patron gala will be held May 3 from 6–8:30 p.m. Tickets to the gala are $75 and are available through the website.

In addition to the show, the Plein Air Festival on June 1 allows visitors to watch artists paint nature scenes as they work outside in two different locations in Loveland. The event is followed by a live auction at the Rialto Theater. All proceeds of the show will go to support Colorado artists and community needs in Larimer County through the Loveland and Thompson Valley Rotary Clubs.

DID YOU KNOW THAT IN 2016, WORLD PLASTIC PRODUCTION TOTALED AROUND 335 MILLION METRIC TONS, ACCORDING TO THE EARTH DAY NETWORK? Although you probably can’t singlehandedly change the environmental toll of the amount of plastic pollution that comes from that kind of number, we’ve rounded up a few simple ways you can curb your consumption and do your part toward a healthier environment.

The next time you ask for a plastic straw, grab plastic bags at the grocery store or buy a bottle of water on your way to the gym (we’re all guilty of something!), you should also know that roughly half of the annual plastic production’s lifespan ends after just a single use. And most single-use plastics aren’t even making it to landfills, let alone being recycled. Instead, the equivalent of one garbage truck full of plastic is being dumped into the world’s oceans every minute. Curb your single-use plastic consumption with these reusable counterparts.
