To create a vision of the Las
Vegas skyline, all I needed to do was take a plane
ride. As I was swooping into Las Vegas during a
recent road trip, I instructed the pilot of the
small plane we were aboard to take an extra pass
just above the Las Vegas strip. The sun was
setting and the light was perfect. The view that
lay spread before me became my painting Viva
Las Vegas.
I never tire of visiting Las
Vegas, the city of endless excitement and dazzling
lights. But the real star of the show is the
dramatic desert sky and the brilliant colors of
this desert oasis. I utilized a radiant palette
filled with the luminous colors that Vegas is
famous for. Like memories of a whirlwind Vegas
weekend, Viva Las Vegas is alive with
excitement.
