Taos Morning
BERNARD MARKS WROTE ABOUT HIS GENTLE DAWN LIGHT PAINTING, “TAOS MORNING”:
A few days in Taos, New Mexico, as seen in my painting “Taos Morning,” leave no doubt as to why the area has been home to so many famous artists. It’s dawn light is ethereal, its subject matter almost limitless.
First, there’s the town’s old-time Spanish Plaza, surrounded by classic buildings.
Then there’s the nearby historic San Francisco de Asis church, which was completed in 1815. Also close by is Taos Pueblo, a tradition Native American village that shows where the Pueblo Revival Style of architecture came from.
And finally, there’s the looming backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo (Spanish for “Blood of Christ”) Mountains fronted by rustic cattle ranches and lush pastures that glow in the incomparable New Mexico morning light. Exactly as I captured it in “Taos Morning.”
Just a quick look at this classic scene as I drove by in dawn light, I knew I had to paint it!
