FINE ART PRINTS . . . . . . . By Dawn Avalon

Legendary Mapes Hotel in Reno Nevada, once the tallest building in Nevada, closed forever on December 17th 1982. This striking image was captured by Avalon the morning of August 8th 1988. On that date she toured the hotel and fully documented the historic landmark with over 700 slides. The hotel was still untouched at the time mostly as it was on closure in 1982. Demolished on January 30, 2000. Size 13 X 19", signed by Dawn Avalon.

The Capitol Records Building on Vine Street, just North of Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood California. A Hollywood landmark built in 1956. This image was captured thirty years later by Avalon on April 26, 1986. Size 13 X 19", signed by Dawn Avalon.

The Desert Cottontail are not usually active in the middle of the day, but can be observed foraging in the early morning, and early evening. Cottontails are rarely found out of their burrows unless looking for food. You will not see them on windy days, because the wind interferes with their ability to hear approaching predators. Not exactly easy to get a charismatic snap of these bunnies! Image captured near Tucson, Arizona in 2023.  Size 13 X 19", signed by Dawn Avalon.
