Our daughter Kate has been spending the winter in Arroyo Hondo, not far from Taos, working as the personal assistant to renowned painter Alyce Frank. One of the benefits of this arrangement has been Kate's opportunity to learn how to paint. Alyce Frank's style is called Magical Realism, in which she makes use of brilliant oil paints to imaginatively render landscapes of the American Southwest and occasionally portraits.
Above are two of Kate's first works. The portrait is of Alyce. The landscape is near Arroyo Hondo. I am very impressed (even if I am the Dad). I am looking forward to more beautiful art from Kate's brush.
