Piano*DadTime to Tell an Interesting Story
A couple of images of DeGrazia work from the Gallery in the Sun ...
This is the Stations of the Cross that he did for the Newman Center at the University of Arizona. They ultimately gave the series back to the Foundation because they couldn't afford to insure the work!
A sample oil. Probably was quite inexpensive in its day.
Lastly, one more photo of the lintels in the house. This is in the entryway. I don't really have any closeups.
Now, how do I go about downsizing these pictures. I don't see pixel dimensions in the code.

I did some clumsy tech magic and made them smaller.

NinaThis is absolutely triggering nostalgia. My folks lived just a few miles from the Gallery in the Sun, and we would go a lot when visiting. A trip there, followed by a visit to the Tohono Chul Haunted Bookshop (alas, no more) and the tea room was a standard afternoon. I think the tea room went dark for awhile but returned as a bistro--not sure. All three locations are lovely.

Sorry for "triggering" you ...
I'll do it again ... here's a DeGrazia mosaic outside the main gallery.
For historical accuracy, this is the developer who bought up the studio and sold the property to be transformed into a gas station.
