Today was very long. I painted until 7:30 p.m., four canvas total. Painting mostly in the Toas areas. This little adobe gate and home was one of my favorites. Taos architecture, with all of its curves, is a joy to paint. I changed the color of the stucco a little, so my painting would pop a bit. Wow, who wouldn't like this gate, a lovely little gem welcoming one home from a long day. This location is in an old plaza on the historic walking tour of Taos, Nm. Certainly a spot I will return to paint again!
I also applied and was accepted to the Plein Air Artist of Colorado, PAAC. I wanted to paint with the group before I joined so I could see what they were all about, and I'm glad I did. They are a great group of highly talented plein air artists. This is a group I am very excited to be a part of. I have been networking among artists, and made some very good friends. Friends I think I will have for a lifetime.
