Rows and rows away from the stage at Red Rocks, there’s another show going on.
Tucked to the side of the amphitheater, a man wearing a fedora and a paint-splattered shirt stands in front of a blank canvas.
As the music starts, so does Scramble Campbell’s paintbrush. As the show goes, he fills the canvas with electric colors and an electric, sometimes out-of-this-world, portrayal of what’s happening around him. He paints the musicians and the natural rock formations there and what the colors of that sky looked like that particular night.
But his paintings never look like a still life of a concert or resemble a photograph. They look more like the coolest concert you’ve ever been to.
