5:12Now PlayingA postcard of Colorado might look something like this: A snow-covered peak towering over a rushing, mountain river, with bright, blue skies overhead. Throw in an elk herd hanging out in the meadow near the water, and that is something that could be sold on a souvenir rack.
That view though, is only half the state.
“The openness and the quietness is actually something to be treasured,” said Staci Beauford as she looked out at the fields near Proctor, Colo. “You say, ‘I’m from Colorado,’ and get, ‘Oh the mountains, you must ski,’ and I’m like, ‘Actually, I’ve never been skiing in my life.’”
Beauford is half of the group of artists that call themselves Some Girls and a Mural. The other half is Audrey Sayles, her cousin. The pair focus on painting murals all over eastern Colorado on interesting canvases like grain bins and grain elevators. They have also painted murals in rural spots in Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Illinois. Together, they have completed about 90 murals.
