Painting Adventures - Nevada

Painting along the Colorado River!

What a great week's vacation I had. I went out to Laughlin, Nevada. One of my favorite places to visit. In addition to very inexpensive hotel rooms, great food, the views couldn't be better.

The Colorado River divides this area into Nevada on one side, (with the gambling, and Arizona on the other side. I enjoy strolling along the river walk, finding a place where no one is at, and just opening up my paint box to paint. The morning air is crisp, paint fast. Right now the temperature is up to 100 plus degrees by the time the afternoon hits.

There are so many wonderful places to paint. The River, the mountain ranges, tiny inlets, and gorgeous fish swimming in the water. They have a few shaded gazebos, that one can sit in to draw or paint. Or simply watch the graceful flow of the water as it drifts by.

Nightfall comes, and with it a cool breeze. You can take in a show, look at classic cars, or gamble. At the Aquarius casino, we watched a Beach Boys concert. We had the best seats in the house.

Laughlin is one of my favorite places for so many reasons. This is one of the best kept secrets in America. If you are looking for a great place to relax, Laughlin is definitely worth taking a look at.

Live, love and paint,
