Sedona’s Saloon – Original Watercolor – 28″ x 37″

Sedona’s Saloon

This landscape painting of Sedona’s Saloon first lived in the foyer of my home, located in the Village of Oak Creek, to those of us who live here refer to it as the “Village.” When I first moved to magical and amazing Sedona, I was featured in a local entertainment paper“ “Kudos“ which IS the place to be for what is going on in Sedona. In it, I stated that if anyone wanted to learn about the Giclee process from scanning to reproductions, I was willing to share my knowledge for free. The first person to show up stepped into my home looked at the original of “Saloon” and said, ” I built that Saloon.”Come to find out that his folks owned the franchise of Pinnacle Steakhouse and he oversaw the construction.

Donny Blackburn was who walked in the door that day. I found out later that he is also an artist and a mighty good one at that! You can see his art here.

Artistic License

So Sedona’s Saloon is made up. This wall art watercolor landscape of this Saloon does not exist in Sedona, nor did it ever. I created this Sedona landscape art because locals came to me asking what a Saloon could look like had it been built here.  This is my interpretation of that! I believe they call that “Artist License.” The actual location of this Saloon is in “Trail Dust Town,” Tucson. Known as the original Cowboy Steakhouse that opened 1962 and quickly became a staple of the Tucson culture. It has a unique “old west” atmosphere and family friendly attitude. Locally owned and operated, the restaurant still serves the best steaks in Tucson cooking them over real mesquite wood. Also available in canvas prints, metal & paper. For more of my watercolors see Sedona Cactus, Pitiado & Tucson Periwinkle. Get it today!

Sedona Landscape Paintings

While I love painting with watercolors, my current love is using acrylics, both heavy body, and liquid acrylics. Creating Sedona landscape paintings and any form of Sedona art is my current direction.
