I took this photo when I was 16 and I've always wished it was in color. Now I can make it so, but this has brought up a whole set of new problems. What colors? I've had to do pretty extensive research to find out what colors go where, and exactly what are the names of the Casino's. I blew up the photo to 8" x 8" and still can't see all the details. There are many details in this painting I really like, but a few I'm IMPROVING on...the cars.
If you click on the picture and look in the center you'll see two cars from my past. Can you tell what they are? Here's a hint: Mitt Romney's Dad was CEO of the company that made the red and white car. Have fun guessing!
Las Vegas, September 1963, Shep's New Painting
