Like Craig Campbell's "Dragon Cowgirl" may you ride into this year with adventurous confidence and courage and an abundance of smiles and laughter. While it is the Year of the Wood Dragon - we feel it's ok to celebrate with some bronze, make this incredible sculpture part of your collection and take advantage of the introductory price in place... The Wood Dragon year comes once every 60 years. The dragon is associated with incredible strength, positive transformation, and challenges. And, the element wood, symbolizes creativity and adaptability. What a wonderful year we have ahead! The National Sculptors' Guild wishes you safety, good spirit and peace wherever you go.

Denny Haskew's Stone Pony Now and Then We just received a note from the family that purchased Denny Haskew's contribution to Santa Fe's Trail of Painted Ponies- "The Stone Pony". We're happy it's still being loved and admired.
Originally placed at the family's home in Houston, Tx, "Trigger" they shared a photo with a young rider about 15-years ago; and now, photographed headed to it's new home and placed on Willie Nelson's 500 acre "Luck Ranch" in Spicewood, TX where the family now lives. Trigger overlooks panoramic views of Hill Country and greets anyone who drives up the hill, including Willie, wife Annie, and their 70+ rescued horses at Luck Ranch. Trigger the Stone Pony joins another Trigger at Luck Ranch, Willie's 50+ year old guitar… named after Roy Rogers' horse. Because Roy said he never left home without Trigger… Willie never leaves home without his guitar, so he decided years ago to affectionately name his guitar “Trigger”. “THE STONE PONY: All of life combines in this wonder called the Universe… This ’stone pony’ is a small attempt to show that a piece of stone and a horse are both living energies of this universal home.” -Denny Haskew  The National Sculptors' Guild Fellows have voted to promote Craig Campbell as a Fellow Member. He has been an Associate Member for the past few years and we have seen great success with Craig's work and love collaborating with him. We are finding ourselves finalists with him in another major project currently, so the projection is in the up and up - matching this artist's enthusiasm for life and art.
His artwork is creative, fun, thoughtful, and captivating; his skills make his approach very versatile. Always positive, Craig has been a great advocate of NSG’s members and efforts wherever he goes. If you have one of the new Maya Angelou quarters (among others)– you’re walking around with Craig’s sculpture in your pocket. Look for the CAC on coins... that’s him!

One-third of net proceeds will go to the Thompson Education Foundation’s Homeless Assistance Fund and additional funds will go toward scholarships for local art students. #CelebrateColoradoArtists #CoGovArtShow #FineArt #ArtWithHeart #LovelandMuseum #DowntownLoveland #MarkYourCalendar  With a little luck, we celebrate St. Patrick's Day by sharing our discovered pot of gold... over 140 never before shown Lu Haskew paintings. While cleaning out a storage room, Lu's son, Denny, uncovered 5 boxes filled with Lu's paintings. They were packed away from her studio when she fell ill, then forgotten. Lu was a prolific artist, prioritizing her time to paint 5 days a week, so it is no surprise that so many paintings remained in her studio from her final couple years. Most are unframed, and because her preferred substrate was canvas mounted on gator board, dozens of paintings fit in each box. We are making these final paintings available for purchase, exclusively on our online store. Enter code: TreasureTrove at checkout for a special incentive through the end of the month. We have 40 additional portraits that we are still documenting. If you have interest in these, please contact us and we'll send you notice once they have been uploaded. A portion of each sale benefits the Lu Haskew Endowment for the Arts, funding art supplies and scholarships in the Thompson School District where she taught.
![Columbine Gallery’s Loveland location has served as headquarters and home to the National Sculptors’ Guild and its sculpture garden, featuring some of the country's finest sculptors, since 1992. One of the largest fine art sources in Northern Colorado, the gallery with adjacent NSG Sculpture Garden quickly became a destination spot and has placed thousands of artworks, large and small, in collectors’ homes across the nation. The Father/Daughter owners wish to announce a direction focus to the public art side of their business. They are selling the gallery space to provide greater dedication to the large-scale placements than the events and exhibitions that make a gallery shine. “We will continue to sell artwork online, which has become a popular choice among art collectors. This is particularly ideal when a collector is familiar with an artist or has worked with us in the past; they know the quality and take comfort in our 30 plus years of experience. This trust has been built over time, and we intend to care for our artists and collectors in the same manner we have from the start.” -Alyson Kinkade, co-owner and Project Manager for the National Sculptors’ Guild. “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with art appreciators of all levels, but the true passion has always been in the design team approach it takes to place great public art.” – John Kinkade, Executive Director of the National Sculptors’ Guild. “Many Lovelanders may be unaware that we have a full-scale public art business, placing over 500 significant monuments across the nation. But that was how we started, and we are feeling it is time to devote ourselves to the Guild once again.” This transition to less show space also allows the Kinkade’s to pursue more of their own interests. Alyson plans to spend more time on her own artwork; and John will continue to work on special projects like serving as Chair for the Colorado Governors’ Art Show, as well as other philanthropic projects that combine the arts and helping community. “It has been a privilege to serve the community of Loveland, Colorado, and our amazing stable of artists over the years. We look forward to continuing to do so in a different capacity.” states John. “Loveland will remain our home base, and we intend to be part of the art world for a long time to come.” Alyson adds. “We are thrilled to see someone new take the space with new energy and ideas to make their mark on this special art-filled city.” The gallery and garden at 2683 N. Taft Avenue will continue to showcase art as the new owner of the property has plans to open par-a-dox fine arts this summer. You’ll see changes already taking shape. John continues, “We hope people reflect fondly of their experiences at Columbine Gallery, we will remember well the dinner parties we threw for hundreds of our patrons under tents in the garden, and special events like weddings; unique exhibitions; charity fundraiser receptions; afternoon meetings with artists on the balconies, and watching the fireworks being set off across Taft Avenue. We express gratitude to all who have been a part of making this beautiful space so special to our family and artists.” Now is the time to redeem any gift certificates, or “Circle of Giving” coupon codes you may be holding onto.

'Strength of the Maker right from its title... to the strength shown even in the toes, is a statement of how I view my very inner belief. Nature and all things natural have always been of the utmost importance to me all my life. Believing in, the Great Spirit, Buddha, Mohammed, the Mysterious One, is important. I feel they all exude the same message; a life of oneness, of love, of honesty and a source of emotional strength. Strength of the Maker is my visual version of how I see my Maker.' -DH This powerful monumental bronze of a Native American preparing their bow is on permanent display in the Native American Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Other prominent placements of the edition include the Gilcrease Museum, OK; the Barona Band of Mission Indians, CA; Wolf Creek Indian Village and Museum, Bastian, VA; Briscoe Western Art Museum, TX; Flagstaff, AZ; Grand Junction, CO; Cerritos, CA; and Canyon City, CO; and private collections.
