During my trip to Vegas last month I visited the art gallery at the Bellagio to check out their new display "Painting Women". I do appreciate people who have talent in the arts, especially painting/drawing. I have a hard time drawing 'stick' people, so I am always in awe of people who can produce masterpieces on canvas.
Painting Women is a display of art works by women artists of the late 19th and earlier 20th century. I have to admit that I was not familiar with most of the artists with the exception of Georgia O'Keeffe. The price of admission was $16 and I used their talking "wand" that gave background/information on each artist and the paintings on display. Toward the end of my visit, one of the gallery employees gave a talk about each painting, so I joined the 'tour'. I spent about 90 minutes total in the gallery and enjoyed every minute of it as well as gaining new knowledge/appreciation in the world of art. (expanding my horizons...who would have thunk?)
This was my second visit to the gallery; having taken in their Andy Warhol display in December. This venue offers something different to do during my afternoons besides degenerate gambling and drinking. I always check out the Bellagio Conservatory display every trip so why not visit the art gallery as long as I am in the 'neighborhood".
Glasses can affect your vision; especially when they have been emptied several times....
A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can put on its shoes....
Spring Break 2000 !!!
