I recently visited Vegas for a friend's wedding. That's about the fifth time I've been there in my adult life. My first visit was as a child with my family. I was probably five or six, and we stayed at Circus Circus.
For My recent trip I stayed at the Luxor. That was my second time there. I love the Fact that I can say I have slept inside of a pyramid. I also love symbols and the Luxor is teeming with symbology and an Obelisk to boot. Super pagan.
I met up with my friends at the Flamingo, and we took a stroll through the wildlife habitat. It's truly a paradise in the desert and a hidden jem nestled just off of the noisy and sometimes ab- noxious strip.
I saw this cool waterfall and caught some inspiration in Vegas. Inspiration is everywhere if you just look.
When I got back I was excited to paint my interpretation of the "Flamingo Waterfall".
This was it... I wanted the waterfall to be more intense. I used the palette knife for the rocks. They have lots of texture.
The Wildlife Sanctuary at the Flamingo is free and even has a bar to boot.
The highlight at the Sanctuary is a flock of Chilean Flamingos. Maybe I should add one. Hmmmm.
Peace out ya'll
