Doc's Tavern
Measuring 11 by 30 inches, this watercolor painting brings to life a vintage neon sign from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, capturing its glowing spirit and weathered charm. The bold "TAVERN" lettering and fiery orange revolver light up against a clear blue sky, viewed from a striking low angle that makes the sign feel larger than life. The mid-morning sun casts deep shadows, revealing peeling paint and rust that tell stories of time and memory. Inspired by a lifelong fascination with neon signs and their unique ability to evoke nostalgia through glowing light, this piece is a heartfelt celebration of a beloved local landmark, inviting you to pause and remember the quiet beauty found in everyday places.
"Doc's Tavern" won 1st place in the watercolor division of the 2024 Lincoln Gallery Regional Fine Art Show.
