12073-shrovetide-revellers-frans-hals These are the faces not just a mother can love and an ethos also easy to relate to. Still, in the case of painter Frans Hals. On Firday, Telluride Inside… and Out visited the Big Apple once again. Our two key stops yesterday: the Frans Hals show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Red Grooms show at the Marlborough Gallery, 40 West 57th Street.

Though divided by centuries, the two artists have more in common than meets the eye. Hals and Grooms convince with clear-eyed depictions of the human condition. Both became well known for affectionate yet truthful portrayals of the urban cultures of  17th-century Haarlem, the Netherlands, Hal's adopted home, and 20th/21st century New York in the case of Grooms.

Dog, Church Once upon a few years ago, Telluride Inside… and Out interviewed a group of young Russian filmmakers visiting town for the Telluride Film Festival. What did they want to talk about most? How dogs in Telluride looked like their people and were everywhere. And how cool it was that dogs were treated like family. And so on… Anyone who lives in town and any observant guest – like the young Russians – know one thing for certain: Telluride is dog heaven.

On October 9, 10 – 11 a.m., Telluride's Christ Church is, well, going to the dogs. And cats. Birds. Even gerbils. That Sunday is a belated celebration of the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and the environment, traditionally celebrated October 4.

  Ted Hoff of Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel and his young female Black Labrador Retriever, Mae, are a team. It is always interesting watching Ted work with a dog, but to see him in action with Mae is pure pleasure. Telluride Inside...
