Grizzly Creek Gallery — Attraction in Georgetown

We visited the gallery today, as well as many other shops. I almost bought one of the hummingbird feeders which were supposed to be "handpainted" by artists from Evergreen, CO. I noticed it had a wrap on the outside of the glass feeder. I asked if we are supposed to remove it after purchase and he said we are supposed to leave it on. As I studied the feeder closely, I could see the dots were printed on that wrap, so I began to question if the columbine flowers were truly painted on the glass. I found a hummingbird that was part of the glass and saw where the plastic lifted over it...and so did the flowers printed on the plastic. I told him about it and he just said, "oh."

He has some pretty photos, but now I question everything else he told me, like how his colors aren't enhanced at all and he doesn't use any type of photo editing software on his photos. The Red Fox Pup photo I bought has definitely been edited now that I've examined it back at the hotel, as I still bought a few things for gifts that I had picked out before discovering the truth about the feeders.

Mind you, I don't care if a person edits a photo or prints flowers on a wrap, etc...if they are simply honest about it. He should know his products and shouldn't claim things about them if he isn't certain. I won't shop...

Just happened to discover this gallery and was thrilled. I purchased a photo for my grandson for Christmas and my daughter couldn't have been more pleased. It was perfect. I also picked up some hardback books for my grandchildren for Christmas by a local Colorado author and the books were a hit! Super friendly owner, who is also the photographer and his talent is outstanding. I cannot recommend his work enough. I promise you won't be...

My grandson and I stopped by Gary's gallery today. Gary's work is superb and prices are reasonable. His love for the craft is evident when you speak with him about his art. We also met the gallery director, Natalie today and she was very kind - especially to my grandson! Thank you Gary for sharing your photos...
