Steve Immel Photography Workshops at Northside at Taos Ski Valley

2010-08-23T07:51:00.000-06:00

Join Steve Immel on our inaugural photography adventure into the wilds of Northside at Taos Ski Valley. Northside’s 1,200 vertiginous acres are laced with trails and endless vistas that are best enjoyed in our four wheel drive shuttle where owner Roger Pattison will show us the best photo stashes in his mountain paradise. We’ll start with some photography basics and a cup of Joe at The Bavarian. We’ll discuss Camera 101 for those who want it (please bring your manual). We’ll address aperture size versus shutter speed, automatic versus manual operation, shooting in RAW and choosing the best ISO for your camera and the conditions. You’ll receive hands-on instruction as we cris-cross Northside, topping out at 12,163 feet on Frazer Mountain. You’ll begin to develop the ability to see more and to use that vision to find and frame compelling compositions. We’ll discuss the basic rules of design and when it’s time to break those rules. It’s been said that a successful photographic image is fusion of concept, composition, craft and attitude. In this daylong workshop you’ll get an overview of all of this in the undiscovered beauty of Northside at Taos Ski Valley. Our day commences at The Bavarian Lodge at dark o’clock and ends back at The Bavarian for a review and critique of the day’s images. There’s an Optimator in your future, my friends. This one-time only $195 per person price (two person minimum) includes a four wheel drive shuttle vehicle and guide, a box lunch and personal instruction throughout the day. And as an extra inducement for you to participate in our maiden voyage I’m throwing in an unmatted 13”x19” print of any image on my website. The print has a retail value of $175 so it pretty much pays for the workshop. See the images at www.steveimmelphotography.com. To pick a date call me at 575-751-1037 or email me at steve@steveimmelphotography.com. Please pass this on to folks you think might like this trip.

Fundraiser

2010-05-13T11:13:00.004-06:00

What:Local Fund-raising Event
Where: the taos gallery, 133 Bent Street on Wednesday
When: May 19th from 4:30 PM-7:00 PM
About: Vision Marketing Associates is producing a documentary film about Mabel Dodge, Tony Lujan and how the modernist artists came to be part of the Taos Art Colony. This film, intended for distribution through PBS networks, and for sale through bookstores and NM State Museums, could have major impacts for the town of Taos. We are therefore inviting you to a fundraiser to help see that this project is completed with the cooperation of the Taos Community.

Awakening in Taos is an intimate story about the passionate forces at work within the life of Mabel Dodge Luhan. Luhan was a writer, artist, visionary thinker, philosopher, salon hostess, and creative catalyst for social change. Born before the dawn of the 20th Century, Luhan began life in the Victorian age, and then grew to embody the paradigm of a progressive New Woman in the Modern Era.

Luhan was passionate and vocal about supporting social and environmental issues during the 1910’s, 20’s and 30’s. As a writer and columnist for the Hearst newspapers, she had a national audience for her ideas. The issues that commanded her attention back then, are the same issues that we must confront and understand in our world today: vanishing wilderness, living sustainably, creating an inclusive community, building bridges between races and cultures, finding the balance between modern living, creative expression and spirituality.

ARTSHARE FOR THE LAND
The northern New Mexico landscape of god-lit, wide-open views and traditional villages has attracted and inspired artists for generations. Just like we can't separate culture from the land, we can't separate art. ArtShare for the Land provides opportunities for artists to give back by supporting Taos Land Trust's efforts to protect the land that is their muse. And it provides opportunities for our members and other art patrons to purchase beautiful artwork, while supporting permanent land conservation.

Seco Pearl Presents a Musical and Art Debut

2010-01-19T20:31:00.003-07:00

Saturday, January 30th, from 6-10pm.:
Artist Opening for Adeana Carlyle, a talented painter and figure drawer well known amongst the artist circles around town. Adeana has studied under Conrad Cooper, UNM art teacher extradordinaire. He has started a blues band and this will be his debut musical show. They have tons of talent and seem destined to become one of Taos’ favorites. To top things off, Austin singer-songwriter Raina Rose, will grace us with her musical talent. Raina was chosen as one of the top 12 picks for indie-folk singers and has become quite well known for her exquisite lyrics, stage presence, and refreshing guitar picking.

Adeana has a degree in music and education and has taught at elementary, high school, and college levels. She moved to Taos five years ago and has been refining her personal art ever since. She works in figure, portrait, and plein air landscape styles. She states that her “true love are the conte drawings that will be featured in the show.” Her work is precise, simple, and eloquent. She has the ability to grab people’s attention and make them instantly feel connected to the figure. She states, “My interest has been and still is drawn toward the inclusion of the human in all of my art. Whether it is a portrait, figure or incorporation of the figure, I find that the connection that develops among the artist, model and audience is what is fascinating and in reality gives life to canvas and paper.” Adeana stands out because she develops a deep connection to her model and brings that relationship to light in her work. She says, “It is that subtle yet dynamic collaboration between the artist and model that, when it works, compels the viewer into the experience of being human and being able to share what the artist and model worked to create.” Join us in this collaboration of what figure drawing truly can be, a dance between model, artist, and viewer.
Following the reception will be music by a new band in town, The Three Chords. Conrad Cooper has been a prominent Taos artist and teacher at UNM for several years, but takes a new step in a musical direction with this blues and funk band. Mr. Cooper plays the upright bass and provides vocals, along with Jackson Price on guitar and vocals, Casey Arillaga on drums, and Jeremy Jones on saxophone. He says that the music is, “as Swing, Funk, and Blues, as oldschool as it gets”. They have been perfecting their sound for some time now and this debut show is not to be missed.
Closing out the night, will be Raina "Railroad" Rose. Raina grew up in Portland OR, where she made her way to become of their top indie-folk performing artists. It is said that her first CD produced there with Mississippi Records. was a musical masterpiece. From there she moved to Austin TX and has released two more albums. She came through Taos last December and was so loved that Seco Pearl was specially asked to bring her back for an encore show. She has been performing since she was three, singing "Joh B. Goode" with her father and sister in a house high on a hill in Eagle Rock, CA. It is said that Raina's dad, Mo, introduced her to the guitar when she was 11. Her press states, “From that moment forward, Raina's musical world burst wide open. She devoured songwriters old and new, such as Joni Mitchel, Dar Williams, the Indigo Girls, Dan Bern, Robert Hunter, Paul Simon, Elliott Smith, and a whole slew of new folks who used to and still create good, honest, soul-wrenching music that may or may not fly under the radar of the masses.”
Dont miss this wonderful night of art, music, students, teachers, friends, and family. Seco Pearl promises some delicious treats, along with their famous teas, chai, and hot chocolate.

Sherrie McGraw
Painting Still Life & Portrait

Ideally, the role of a teacher is to help the student see the world as shapes, value and color relationships through the language of brushstrokes. The most valuable gift a teacher gives a student is a way of thinking and understanding. Unless you prefer the odds of “a monkey at the typewriter” when figuring out painting problems, then understanding how the language of paint works is necessary in order to truly becomes a good painter.

Short Pose Figure Painting in Oils

2010-01-13T07:02:00.000-07:00

Instructor- Michelle Chrisman
Harwood Art Center-ALBQ, NM

This is a fast paced class that will move your painting ability ahead faster than any other approach. Using large brushes & pre-mixed paint, you will rapidly lay in entire paintings starting with just 5 minutes! The basis of strong painting is designing beautiful shapes and quickly painting them in their correct values. You will paint from the clothed model, moving from 5 to 20 minute poses, building the entire composition in relation to the figure. Michelle will help you quickly move to “level 3” painting, learning to see the abstract shapes before you. (Levels 1, 2, & 3 painting will be explained). Michelle will help you improve your use of the medium of oil paint & teach you how to mix all values and colors with a limited palette. She will do demos throughout the class complemented by plenty of individual instruction.

January 30 and 31, 9 am to 5 pm

This is my Japan

2009-07-01T06:58:00.001-06:00

Sometimes going forward in life takes us back to our past. I've been revisiting how my studies of the Japanese culture, art and language are influencing my life today, here in Taos, NM.

I realized long ago that NewMexico (Taos) is my Japan, with its adobe mud houses and rural feeling. Japan in my own backyard! I know my love for red began with a pot of red camphor paint that I would dip my chop into and stamp my sumi-e paintings. I know also that the wonderful luminosity of the mounted paintings on mulberry paper have led me to experience another "luminosity" with encaustics.

Come and celebrate life and joy at "the taos gallery",

July 3, 5 - 7, 103 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, Taos, NM 87571, 575-758-3911. http://www.thetaosgallery/

a documenting the original Austin music scene

The works were done when the “Austin scene” was evolving in the early ‘70s. In those volatile times, the hippies and rednecks got together and discovered they enjoyed something in common – country music with a hard driving beat.

The Austin beat was labeled “progressive country” by many music journalists.

Among the artists depicted in Richardson’s works are Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Clifton Chenier, B.W. Stevenson, Joe Cocker and Navasota. There are also sketches of Willie Nelson’s Fourth of July Picnics and of Luckenbach, Texas, a small town (population 2), that Nelson made famous in a song.

The collection will be on display through May 1.

Quote: “There has always been a strong connection between Austin and Taos. There are a lot of recovering Austintacious Outlaws in Taos, people who spent time at places like New Buffalo in Taos and at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin and traveled back and forth over the years.”

The Rane Gallery

214 Ledoux Street

Saturday October 11

6pm

for an unveiling and readings.

Regional artists and poets have come together on a project: Beginning with Bill Rane's 1981 painting, Aegean Sea Scroll, each artist (poet/visual) was asked to respond, one by one, to the artwork alternating, linked and inspired solely by the preceding unidentified artist and artwork. The art of creating art inspired by another genre is called Ekphrasis. Last year during the Taos Fall Arts Celebrations, Rane Gallery hosted "Reflections on Rane," where 11 poets read their poems inspired by different works by Bill Rane. That collection, The Master's Hand, Reflections on Rane, will be available at the Oct. 11th event. This event pushes the envelope further.

Poems are responded to by visual art, and in turn, another poet answers the painting/sculpture. The process took a year, an artistic "round robin" or "telephone tag."Will a theme emerge? Will a connection between the 24 artists be revealed? Please do come to see the specially created art work, and hear the poems.

The participating artists include: Bill Rane, Veronica Golos, Randall LaGro, Cheryl Loetscher, Dororthy Lampl, Joseph Hutchison, Seamus Berkeley, Ellaraine Lockie, Duaine O'Hagan, Karen Cordova, Homare Ikeda, Kathleen Cain, Carlos Barela, Andrea L. Watson, Nancy Delpero, Scott Wiggerman, David Hinske, Madelyn Garner, Don Ward, Carol Aronoff, Lenny Foster, Linda Arnold, Salvatore Giglio, Dora E. McQuaid.
