Eldorado Studio Tour - October 23-24, 2021

The 29th Annual Studio Tour that was canceled in May of 2020 will be held on October 23-24, 2021. Armantrout Studio will be participating, and helping put on the Preview Gallery on Friday evening, October 22. 

The Eldorado Studio Tour is the oldest and largest in the state of New Mexico, with artists opening their home studios to display and sell their artwork, representing a wide spectrum of media. Through generous donations of participating artists, we support local organizations including El Dorado Fire and Rescue Service, Vista Grande Public Library, El Dorado Community School, and the Ken and Patty Adam Senior Center.  Since 2003, the Eldorado Studio Tour and the Fall Show participants have donated nearly $80,000 to local community organizations. 

Please, save the date. If you want to stay in touch to learn specifics about the tour, please submit your email address below left. New paintings added today to Available Paintings.

Basic Design- Relationships within the Frame

In 1977, I had the privilege to be in a Design Class with a Denver Public school teacher, Edith Niblo. Emily Griffith Opportunities School had been founded in the 1920's by a woman who recognized that women needed occupations and income. I learned more in that semester than I had at University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill where I received a BA in Studio Art. The material from Edith's class supports abstract and representational art endeavors. She had read all the writings of Hans Hofmann, was a fan of Georgia O’Keeffe, and was an excellent teacher. She taught experiential exercises that incorporate design ideas and teach students to think and resolve relationships within the frame.

Here is that material that I have taught in many formats. If you are looking for something fun and gratifying to do at home…this might be it. age 14 and up.
