Last Stage to Goldfield
$155.00 – $205.00
Boom towns sprang up in many locations in the American West due to the discovery of minerals that could be mined.
Watercolor is a favorite medium of mine. It can be as harsh and unforgiving as the Arizona desert in the middle of the summer. I love the challenge of completing a successful piece with it. As the painting title infers, the stage is heading to Goldfield, Arizona. Which is a real town. In 1890 gold was discovered there and a boomtown sprang up. At one point there were over 5000 residents living and working in Goldfield. That population was larger than Phoenix at the time. The town is at the base of the rugged Superstition Mountain range in the high Sonoran Desert in Central Arizona. It exists still as a rebuilt tourist town. There is still a working gold mine there. Albeit not a producer like the original mine vein that produced over two million dollars of ore in 1890’s dollars. The mine played out by 1895 and the town reverted to a ghost town.
Reproduction sizes available: 24” x 39” and 16” x 33” on watercolor paper.
