Taos, New Mexico 2013 Day 4

RC Gorman, Su Bah, signed print.The fourth day we had no "must sees". But we should have because we didn't get to the Harwood Museum. (Read tomorrow to see why that turned out okay). The current show through September features artists, RC Gorman and Jim Wagner, who were friends and party buddies of my Mother when she was in Taos 1975 thru 1981. It was very special that they were being honored with a show at the Museum that was at the end of the block where Mother lived across Ledoux from RC's Navajo Gallery. Mother had 2 prints and a book signed by RC that I have been holding in my office for sale since she passed a year ago. There were many full circle moments on this trip. Gratitude for all. 

We also spent time on Bent Street with jeweler, Emily Benoist Ruffin, who graciously answered lots of questions. We started the day at Old World Art, where Kimberly shared her technique and process with us. I have no words for this experience. Okay, one word, awesome. We saw all the galleries on Kit Carson Road, a favorite for me is Wilder Nightengale. I enjoy all of the galleries and am inspired by the diversity in the art. And a shout out to 203 Fine Art who always have wonderful shows on Ledoux. They show Taos Moderns, and the owner Shaun Richel is an excellent artist. They also have sweet lodging for rent in the back.

We came back up the hill from Casita Montoya for dinner in the special rooms where my parents' shop had been. Lambert's is there now. We had a disappointing dinner and service, but it was wonderful to be in the building. All the other meals we had in Taos were terrific, and we didn't even make it to Orlando's.
