Day 2- Taos Painting

"Don Fernando Morada"
8"x10" oil on panel

I'm a little slow in getting my Taos paintings posted. Our annual Open Studios show was this past weekend, so it's been kind of crazy doing that. But now things are getting back to normal, so I hope to be posting more regularly

Painting in Taos-Day 1

"Evening at the Morada"
8"x10" oil on panel
Available $250

Last week I drove to Taos for a 2 day painting lesson with Taos artist Michelle Chrisman. Michelle is a contemporary colorist and paints expressive northern New Mexico landscapes with wonderful energy using a palette knife. I am wanting to be more expressive and energentic in my own painting so I learned much from her. Michelle has some wonderful workshops scheduled throughout the year--I hope to catch her at Ghost Ranch next year.
