BSSS Explores New Mexico:Taos and Ghost Towns - Culture and Art

September 2010
Join teacher/artist Christine Drake for a trip to the southwest in September 2010 to explore and paint flora, fauna, southwestern architecture and the ravages of time in the desert.

This one- week (two days travel and five days painting/sketching) getaway provides a great way to see new landscapes through the visual arts.  Bring whatever art materials you like - paints, drawing materials, printmaking supplies, camera, etc.

Our plans are flexible and will be finalized by the interests of the group.  Some of our destinations might include artist studios/studios/galleries, visits to museums such as the D.H. Lawrence Ranch or Taos Pueblo. Some day trips out into the desert include The High Road, Salmon Ranch and Arroyo Seco.

Christine will provide instruction as requested.  But feel free to work at your own pace and relax amid the beautiful scenery so different from our own Shenandoah Mountains.

Cost: TBA 
More Information will follow early 2010
