For the 7th year Bob attended a painting workshop given by Taos artist/potter Stephen Kilborn this week. A Friday evening gallery show wraps up the class with each participant entering one of their works from the week. As of Friday morning Bob was undecided which of the two paintings below he will enter, either the Taos Courtyard in a vignette style or a more abstracted view of the old Arroyo Seco adobe church.
Taos Courtyard
Seco Church
Today he will finish a painting of the chapel at Pilar and perhaps start one of the Talpa church, another of his favorite subjects in the Taos area. A successful and inspiring week.

Lavern Kilborn earns star status each workshop after serving gourmet luncheons each day. Bob eagerly describes to me, in detail, the menu and preparation of the day’s dishes. Lavern happily shares recipes so that participants can enjoy a taste of Taos throughout the year.
