Boats Watercolor by Peter Nelson
A local Arizona artist, his heart and eye captures the
light and architectural lines established in his native
New England, where he spends summers painting on
Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine. His painting,
"Low Tide, Sunset," is published in the book, The Art of
Monhegan Island by Carl Little.
Nelson began painting as a hobby in 1985 and is self
taught, learning a lot about watercolor by watching his
mom paint. He is a juried member of the Northern Arizona
Watercolor Society and an active member of the Sedona
Arts Center where he exhibits work in the annual member
shows. He has received numerous awards for his
paintings.
Guests are in for a treat with Chef Michael Rusconi's
award-winning artful American cuisine and savory brunch
specials, which may be enjoyed on Lon's outdoor patio
with views of Camelback Mountain or in the elegant
dining room.
Lon's delectable á la carte Sunday brunch menu includes
roasted chicken and strawberry salad, steak and eggs
with skillet cornbread, a three-egg omelet with smoked
salmon, huevos rancheros, and banana walnut pancakes.
Lon's welcoming and intimate atmosphere features a
ruggedly elegant dining room with wood-beamed ceilings,
vintage Western artifacts and beehive fireplaces that
accent the meandering dining space. The charming
restaurant features the artworks of the historic inn's
original owner, Lon Megargee.
