On Tuesday morning of this week, there was a terrible fire at the Gator Farm in Mosca, Co...just on the other side of the Sangres from us. It is a well-known and well-frequented animal sanctuary for reptiles. Not all of the creatures who call that place home were killed, but SOME were. I spent the day feeling so sad and helpless about it all...so I painted some of the residents there. We visited the farm a couple of years ago, my grandkids, daughter and I. It was so fun and full of interesting and amazing creatures! These giant tortoises were walking the hallway path between exhibit areas..like two big GUIDES. RIP critters of Gatorville. ( if you Google "Gator Farm in Mosca, Co" you can read about it and see the news videos. There is also a GoFundMe page for the loss.)
