Happy Father’s Day

“look Mom, matching shirts!” Wanted to stop in today to wish all the dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day- especially one in particular (mine.) Sometimes I think Father’s Day day doesn’t get the respect it deserves (I believe in Germany it’s even combined with a church holiday) which is unfortunate. Maybe it’s because I’m [...]

in memory of my friend

For the past few days I’ve been trying to find the words to write this, but kept getting stuck. I’ve been a little overcome with emotions and feel just a little out of it. That said, there’s something I wanted to share- if nothing more than to give a friend the recognition he deserves. This [...]

Happy weekend! (June 7-9th)

via courtney khail Happy Weekend everyone! Any big plans? I’m thinking this weekend calls for a day out in the mountains followed by dinner under the stars. Or our cafe lights- I’m happy with either! If we have time I think J. and I are going to head to Boulder’s Farmers’ Market and may try [...]

Courtney Khail in Denver Life

Sliced Lemons via courtney khail. Purchase this painting here I just can’t stay away from the lemons lately. Every time I walk into the grocery store they’re just overflowing from the bins and the next thing I know, I’ve purchased another six. Luckily, I really like lemonade. And lemon cookies. And pretty much all other baked [...]

Courtney Khail on 5280.com

 (tying into yesterday’s post, I got chills reading “Denver artist Courtney Khail” since I’ve been so used to hearing “Atlanta artist.” It’s the little things people.) Hey everybody! Just wanted to share something that made me super excited (like, do a happy dance kind of excited)- my paintings are featured over on 5280.com! (5280 is [...]

Celebrating One Year

How we spend most of the summer. Please take extra note of the super attractive knee brace I’m rocking. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Mom!) and after talking to her on the phone, J. and I sat down to have breakfast before going on a hike. About two bites into my bacon, J. [...]
