Pallete Framing leaving Taos

Victoria Duran who owns Palette Framing, is moving out of Taos. She is a fantastic framer, with excellent taste and always helps pick out just the right thing when I need it. She has been framing for some of the well knownTaos artists for years including Ray Vinella. Rather than store all of her frame stock, she is offering discounted prices to Taos artists now. Her shop is located behind Woody's Furniture off Paseo del Canyon. Could be a great way for people to frame up things that need her expert work at lower prices than you would pay normally.

Cydney Taylor working in Todos Santos

This is a drawing by Cydney Taylor. Only Cydney could prove that you can still have fun in the sun and get work done at the same time. Cydney is in Todos Santos for the winter. This drawing is one in a series of 15 full sheet drawings that Cydney is working on. The drawings are a continuing quest using value to create design. I'd say she is pretty successful.
