The Uptown Theater

Picture
Uptown Theater, Acrylic on Canvas, SOLD
I decided to begin the Napa Neighborhood Series with a painting of the Uptown Theater in Napa, California. As a young girl, I remember when we excitedly went to the Uptown to see the newly released movie and filmed in the Napa Valley "This Earth Is Mine" with Rock Hudson and Jean Simmons. It was 1959, and all the locals were so excited because the film was created and set in the Napa Valley. Not to mention that many residents were hoping to see themselves on the big screen at the Uptown Theater as extras in the film.

The Uptown Theater we see today has been beautifully restored in an art deco genre and hosts many big name entertainers. I always try to put something "personal" in my paintings so I thought long and hard as to who should be on the marquee. And although I am a big fan of many of the entertainers who have appeared recently at the Uptown Theater, I am a really big fan of Boz Scaggs AND he's now living locally in the Napa Valley.


Giclees, and Art prints are available.
