Red Rock Canyon Painting, Las Vegas, Nevada – Buy now<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

A plein air painting from Red Rock national conservation area in Las Vegas, Nevada. <\/p>\n

I planned to go at dawn. <\/p>\n

I would paint glorious desert sunrises. I left the hotel at 6:15. It was only 20 minutes to Red Rocks. <\/p>\n

I then got hopelessly lost. But hope is an anchor, and I did not give up. <\/p>\n

Those of you who’ve known me for a while are familiar with the drill. The night before, I carefully copied down directions to and from my hotel. I sent maps to my phone. I double checked everything. I drove out of the parking garage, took one wrong turn, and proceeded to drive all the way around the city on the beltway. <\/p>\n

Eventually, I did find the right road, so I exited 215 and drove out into the desert. I was rejoicing- but I rejoiced too soon. The road dead-ended in a half-built subdivision. <\/p>\n

Turned out I was still on the opposite side of town from Red Rocks. So I executed a 3 point turn and drove straight across the city for about 20 miles, or 40 miles, or however far it was, and arrived at Red Rocks around 2 PM. Red Rocks was stunningly beautiful so I think it was worth it.<\/p>\n

The day was wonderfully mild- not 105 as I had feared, and I was able to work on several paintings. Here’s the first one.<\/p>\n
