Plein Air Convention in Las Vegas 2012

So here I am in Las Vegas, seeing the beauty and the amazing energy and power of this ocean floor. I had hoped to see the desert in bloom, and there are a few flowers but because of drought llast fall, there is very little this year. Was in the Valley of Fire and the Red Rock Canyon - unreal! And the Convention is over the top. One day down, from 6:30 to 8:00 and so much information and experiences. Tony Pro, Jeremy Lipking and Alexey Steele did a portrait demo together on stage (photo). Too many fantastic artists to mention them all. Did go to the zoo called The Strip to see the Monet exhibit at the Bellagio Hotel. Exhibit was worth it, the Bellagio water fountain is fantastic, the strip is another story........

First Day of the Frank Gardner Workshop

Today was the first day of the painting workshop. We were at a ranch about 15 minutes from San Miguel. Weather was a bit overcast and windy in the morning. Our group consists of 8 painters. Frank started with a demo about blocking in to get the values right. We then did three value studies - just flat shapes.

Second Day in San Miguel

My cousin Marina Desiree's house in Los Frailes area by San Miguel, the garden in the Bellas Artes and a street scene. It has been a busy day meeting friends and being around town.
