Adventure - Nevada

Back from Laughlin

Just a couple of notes, now that I'm back. Laughlin is just a wonderful place. Of course, right now, the temperatures are rising to over 100 degrees plus. Deep in the heart of summer, temps go all the way up to the 130's. So, I will definitely stay away for a couple of months!

Always, some beautiful places to paint. I love the apes that line the river walk with their huge flames that light the way at night. Can you imagine how much fun it would be to come up with a clever painting of such a walkway?


The riverwalk also has a few wonderful covered gazebos. I would love to sit under one and paint for the day. Of course, that would be followed by trips to some really good restaurants.

In addition to the view, a few other highlights of this trip were, listening to the Beach Boys in concert. They can really put on a show!

The other highlight was to go to the Avi Resort and Casino. On Friday night they have all you can eat seafood for $13.99. The king crab legs were fantastic! The desert was also wonderful. They had a wonderful woman, over a hot stove. You told her what you wanted. She threw in a little butter, brown sugar and all types of berries and chocolate chips. When it melted and carmelized, she poured it over French Vanilla ice cream. How delicious.

Well, I'm going to close with this fantastic view of the river. I will be posting a few pics of paintings that I have painted. Mostly sunsets. I was so happy with the quality of these paintings, that I took them to the framer without taking photos first.

Well, lesson learned. Next time I will show some more patience and take photos of my paintings first, before I get things framed.

Live, love and paint,

Terry
