Last week I was in Las Vegas, tagged along at a conference. Not really a gambler. I spent the days painting in the desert and the evenings eating conference appetizers and drinking seemingly unlimited quantities of white wine.

Red Rock Canyon Painting 5
One last painting from Red Rocks- I’m pretty sure there are no other half-completes in the stack.
Red Rocks Canyon
I tagged along to an IT conference in Las Vegas last summer, and had a confused time getting out to Red Rocks Canyon due to my tendency to drive in giant circles while taking wrong turn after wrong turn.
So I’d hoped to do more paintings of the desert on location than I managed to. This is a studio piece that’s been trying to get finished for the past five or six months. Fox Canyon? Wildsomething Canyon? I can’t remember what this pocket canyon was called, but I would have loved to explore it more than I did before the sun went down.

One more small studio painting of Red Rocks, outside Las Vegas.

Such a beautiful place, Red Rocks outside Las Vegas, Nevada.
Red Rocks Painting
Though you can’t actually see the red rocks in this piece, maybe I shouldn’t have called it that. This is from the Red Rocks national conservation area, though, which is a very beautiful place.
Nevada Desert Painting
I tagged along to a software conference (Splunk) to paint in the Nevada desert outside Las Vegas.
I got turned around when headed to Red Rocks.
Here’s the desert from where I wound up when I got lost. No red rocks here, but the blue mountains were very pretty. I was on the exact opposite side of the city from where I wanted to be- but still on the same street!
