Quincy Tahoma portrait

Our audience continues to grow which is a GOOD thing, because it means more people will meet Quincy Tahoma and his art.

Here are the 9 blog posts you liked most last year:

• To Market, To Market explored how Tahoma sold his paintings.
• Tahoma’s Horses talks about his love of horses, one of his favorite subjects to paint.
• Navajo Comfort Food. Mutton stew and how to make it.
• Win a Book, in which we gave away a copy of Quincy Tahoma: The Life and Legacy of a Navajo Artist.
• Elmer Yazzie, Navajo Artist Inspired by Tahoma. Many artists were inspired by Tahoma, and we profiled a couple of them last year. More to come.
• Book Publisher Challenges Discounters. One of the reasons we like our publisher, Schiffer Books–they are challenging the practice of deep discounts on new books.
• Good Reads in Art. We’d like to think that Quincy Tahoma, a Top Pick in the Southwest Books of the Year is one of the best–but honesty compels us to admit that there is other good reading about Indian art out there.
• Tahoma Book Goes on the Road. We have been sharing our marketing trips with you. This was just the first foray.
• The Reviews Page. Here we share with you all the nice things that reviewers have had to say about our book. (And, honestly, if they say something negative, we include that, but it does not happen often.)

Did this roundup include your own favorite post or page at the Tahoma Blog? Which type of subject matter would you like more of? What else would like us to write about? Any specific questions for us? Please join the conversation.
