Taos

After we finished painting in the the morning- the group decision was to take a break for coffee or lunch and meet back at the church. This is my afternoon painting- a very quickly painted 8x10 of the back of the Morada.

The Morada

The first day of the Taos paint out, Coni and I decided to paint the Morada with the High Desert Painters. We wanted to also meet up with Kemper Coley so we all were to gather up at Wilder Nightingale and head on over. Kemper wasn't there so we set out on our own - three vehicles in a caravan and headed over to the Morada - there was one small issue- neither Coni or I could remember which street to turn onto from Kit Carson-- we ended up getting lost and Kemper, who was already at the church had to drive over and lead us in-- slightly embarrassing..

The weather was beautiful and although everything is way behind in Taos as far as budding out and blooming, it was still very beautiful. Ken Daggett was painting in this great spot along a rode to the north - Kemper and I set up on the same road.

This is the view I got -- I had painted this earlier in the winter from the west- check it out-
