Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Not too long ago, back in the days of the "American Wild West", cowboys and town folks would get pretty thirsty. Plus since televisions , radios and movie theaters were not available in those days, there was also a need for some type of entertainment. That's why saloons like this one quickly became the most popular place in town. Rowdy cowboys drinking too much whiskey or beer usually led to some arguments, fights or even shootouts provided some pretty exciting entertainment. Not to mention the occasional stage shows and dancing girls. This replica of the Longhorn Saloon was pretty quiet the day I was there, but if you look closely there are some bullet holes in the window. I enjoyed the peace and quiet along with these ... Saloon Shadows.

I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.

PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.

Many thanks and best wishes!
