Denver, Colorado paintings by Topher Straus
Denver, Colorado
Denver-born artist Topher Straus paints Denver and the Front Range around it: the skyline in neon color at night, the city from the air by day, Red Rocks, the mesa above Golden and the Flatirons in Boulder.
“I'm a multi-generational native of Colorado - I grew up here in Denver - it's my hometown.”

About Denver
Denver sits exactly a mile above sea level, with more than a hundred miles of the Front Range in view on a clear day. The city owns a chain of Denver Mountain Parks in the foothills, among them Red Rocks Park and its amphitheater, and its Denver Art Museum, with the angular Hamilton Building, anchors a growing arts district downtown.
