Bright desert colors
So sharp in the clear air
Art in Old Pueblo.

Nurturing each Moment
Tucson,
nearby foothills
home of DeGrazia
darkness,
low moving clouds
moving over the mountains
music,
blues in the air
coming from the Boonduck’s
Kika,
cat on the guard
lying low in pursuit
crickets,
sing in the night
adding to the aura
heat up,
roast in the day
cooling with the darkness
whiskey,
cool on the rocks
soothing the solitude
cigar,
smoke in the air
mixing with the night wind
starlight,
brighten the sky
pushing back the soft clouds
rainstorms,
in the forecast
teasing the believers
late-night,
clock in a.m.
seeking the morning light
twitter,
of early birds
singing of existing truth
outfits,
Lycra on two wheels
biking to the mountains
crossroads,
Sonoran sun
hiking Mount Lemmon’s peak
pleasure,
mind in control
nurturing each moment

In June of 2019, the Arizona Highways had a special issue, “The Legacy of Arizona’s
Prolific Artist,” Ted DeGrazia. And why not, it was Arizona Highways the discovered Ted
DeGrazia and put him on stage. His work appeared in more the 60 issues of Arizona
Highways. The June issue celebrates the 110th birthday of Arizona’s most prolific artist.

Even before moving to Tucson in 2010, I was aware of and love Ted DeGrazia’s work.
We live only a few miles from DeGrazia’s Gallery In The Sun, the campus of which sets
up against the Santa Catalina Mountains on Tucson’s northeast side.

Over the last decade, we have visited the Gallery In The Sun several times, this blog has eleven postings.
