If you’re ever in Reno, definitely go to the Nevada Museum of Art. It’s well worth the $10 price of admission. The only photography permitted was the roof (from which I took the panoramic view of Reno) and also an exhibit of work by architect William L. Pereira, who designed the Los Angeles Airport, among other structures.
Normally I look at the titles of the paintings, but this museum’s collection is so wonderful that I just looked at the vast majority of the paintings and enjoyed them, without needing to know what the paintings were named.
The two artists whose work I liked the most were Chester Arnold (I really liked his painting “On Earth as it is in Heaven.”), and Amerique Powell, who had some great paintings of cats.
I saw these interesting bits of art on walls and in windows while walking from downtown to the Atlantis Casino.
On the way back, I passed by Virginia Park. The waterfowl are quite bold about crossing the street; cars slowed down for them (although, if you ask me, they’re worth 5 points each). I also saw a very strange, but artistic, stencil on the sidewalk.
A few pictures from the walk along the Truckee River, and a sculpture in a nearby plaza.
It was a very low-key event; a few hundred people. Got my “cat fix” from the Reno Humane Society, who had a pet adoption booth. The first picture was a T-shirt that made me laugh; the second is comedian/writer/actor Bruce Vilanch, who did a few jokes for the crowd.
Here’s a contradiction in terms:
I had a hell of a time figuring out what this was from a distance; I was looking at the red outline rather than the negative space. (It was for a place called the Pangborn Law Offices, if you need a hint.)
If you don’t want any excitement in your lfe, stay here.
These two businesses share space ina strip mall. I guess you go to the place at the bottom if the one on top doesn’t work out.
Not sure if I’d want my dinner prepared by some drunk (which is what borracho means).
