Viva Las Vegas
Art Notes
To create a vision of the Las Vegas skyline, all I needed to do was take a plane ride. As I was swooping into Las Vegas during a recent road trip, I instructed the pilot of the small plane we were aboard to take an extra pass just above the Las Vegas strip. The sun was setting and the light was perfect. The view that lay spread before me became my painting Viva Las Vegas.
I never tire of visiting Las Vegas, the city of endless excitement and dazzling lights. But the real star of the show is the dramatic desert sky and the brilliant colors of this desert oasis. I utilized a radiant palette filled with the luminous colors that Vegas is famous for. Like memories of a whirlwind Vegas weekend, Viva Las Vegas is alive with excitement.

Hi Guys!
For Christmas, my husband bought me one of your desk calendars of Thomas’s wonderful paintings, and as I reveal a new painting each day I then visit your website to see what he wrote about each of the paintings.
I love his work and on days when I am feeling jaded or stressed I just disappear into one that appeals to me on the day and it is almost like meditating.
Thank you all for continuing to keep his art alive.
Cheers!
Mrs. Terry Norquay
