Since this is still a relatively new thing there are a lot of kinks to be worked out. The first year was almost the best organized. Usually they have the light show Friday and Saturday. Seemed like they have changed it to a one day event on Saturday called Paseo Party on the Plaza for the light show. I'm a bit beefed about it because I would go both days and still miss some of the light installations.

Opening night is usually the best, something magical about it. Usually I go around 6-7 to look at the art on the show floor and then wander around. Come and say hi and look at some art!

Also my mixed media piece Hi, My name is Little Joe which is the Bear portrait will be there! Go & and see it!

Taos Fall Arts Show 2017 Poster
Art by Ed Sandoval

I almost forgot to mention to on Saturday Morning the 23rd my Portrait Drawing group will be doing a demonstration at the Guadalupe Parish Gym where the art show is held from 10-1. You can watch us paint alla prima portrait.

Usually the models are amazed we all draw the same person different angles and the artistic approach is all totally different. Even if another artist is using the same medium too. 

Here are a few examples of some of the portraits I have done these last few months. 

Painted this one today. Used a different color
scheme than I usually do. 

I am also changing the posting format to  one week something informative or a random musing and then the next week something I have drawn/painted. Stay tuned for another post this week! about Weapons!
