Taos, the Luminous Landscape, August 7-12, 2010

Posted on February 4, 2010 - Filed Under 2010 Workshops

Taos Mountain

Northern New Mexico is one of my favorite places: I started going there to make art 12 years ago, the summer before my girl was born. What makes it so magical for me is likely the same as it was for Georgia O’Keefe, and other artists and writers that were enchanted away from their places of origin to land there. It is the light, the wide, wide vistas with ribbons of red and green. It is the desert floor that can look like Easter, full of purple and yellow. It is the sky, the huge, colorful showy sky.

If I was four people, one of me would be figuring out Dreamweaver so I could fix my website to make my workshop page function. One of me would be my secretary, to follow up on all those calls I made to try to find help for my webmaster person. One of me would plan the class, and one of me would be a wife and mother extraordinaire. Alas, my posting here will have to do for now.
Stables Gallery

My workshop is called “The Luminous Landscape”. We will be painting and bookmaking in the Stables Gallery, right in the heart of town and within walking distance from the casitas we rent from Lovey, at Taos Lodging. She is offering a 10% discount to students of this class, so please mention that to her if you call.

Taos Lodging

Lovey has a small beautiful compound of casitas that can be shared. They all have kitchens and baths and varied sleeping arrangements. We have happy hour outside on the deck.

The price for the class is $590 for five days, including some of the supplies, a welcome party, and a week of inspiration in the company of like-minded artists. The lodging and transportation are up to you.

Hopefully I will have my Paypal buttons up and running this week, so you can be one click away from a week of bliss!

    I would love to go! Was in Taos last summer visiting friends and my aunt lives in Albuquerque so I love to visit New Mexico. Doubt I can fit this in my schedule since I’m teaching at AU the 7th & 8th. Hard to be in two places at the same time.

    Sounds like a wonderful class in a magical place.
