03/28/12 Finishing My Painting/Sculpture Day 08

Viva Las Vegas. So glad I made it and even happier that I am on strong pain meds. Its very hot and dry...and we've done so much walking and walking and walking and walking. Thirsty. I go into the Hotel and Casino and absorb the cold smoky cigarette filled air. A/C is wonderful. I drink my bottled water. I walk pass the lobby and I see beautiful flowers. A magnificent garden. No. A meadow....beds of tulips and poppies and a waterfall with a carousel. More. A windmill and people crowding with giant bees hanging above. I am at awe and overwhelmed with its beauty. I smell the tulips. Finally I make my way to the back of the exhibit and hanging is a painting made of fresh grown flowers in reds and blues and purples and white daisies. 3D depicting a house on a lushious green hill with the sky a pale blue and white clouds. I sit to smell the flowers and stare at all the colors and lights in the room. But I am warm and happy. Content looking at this flower bed landscape framed as a painting. I want my painting just like this...to pop and feel real and smell and sound like the flowers are screaming. When I get home I feel maybe there will be time.
