Hearts on Fire
Just in time for Valentine’s… Last Thursday was a Night of Perfection as I stopped in on the Hearts Of Fire Showcase Evening. I had to check out their new store, which is the first for the United States, and it’s here, in Las Vegas. Look for them in Caesars Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

Legendary Luminaries
The Second Saturday Art Affair in Las Vegas is enough reason to get out and celebrate art. Feature artist Michael Wardle and you have a Legendary Luminaries art show.

Freakin Frog Las Vegas
The Freakin Frog is freakin cool. With nearly a thousand craft brews to choose from, I selected the Premium Bavaricum Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dark beer as my premium of the night – and it was absolutely delicious.

Fashion Clash
Tonight, they made for a fantastic evening of community-supporting community at the Fashion Clash Fashion Show showcasing wonderful Las Vegas designers. Artifice Art Bar in the Arts District was a packed house and clearly the place to be. Tonight’s contributions and gracious efforts went to benefit The Caring Place and Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Nude Beauty Nude
Nudity in art has been debated since the beginning of time. After all, the unclothed human figure is an important genre in art, as it has been beautifully featured throughout history since ancient times.

Seven
Last week, I posted in my blog that it’s always fun to post art from the past. Over the last few days, I’ve added three large original paintings from 1993-94 and an illustration from 1988.

Michelangelo’s David
In many ways, 2012 has been a reflective year for me as an artist. I created a lot of new art in a variety of media, and that always excites me. But this year was epic for me in other ways, too.
