Working on a painting of San Xavier Mission, DeGrazia was photographed by National Geographic and appeared in an article titled “From Tucson to Tombstone” in 1953. Happy Throwback Thursday!

This guy keeps watch over the #SanXavierMission in #TucsonArizona: a 300+ year old church on the #TohonoOodhamNation #SanXavierIndianReservation. It’s a special place...and you can grab yourself an Indian Taco and talk to the local Natives. #SouthernArizona (at San Xavier Mission) https://www.instagram.com/p/BubXObIlu9J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dkxpj3yxt5lv

In this #architecture #watercolor Thomas Schaller (@thomaswschaller) shows us a bustling day at an arts and crafts market in front of the San Xavier Mission in Tuscon, Arizona. The sun blankets the mission building in brilliant sunlight, but it appears that the shoppers and vendors have a bit of shade for the time being... I would guess it's an early morning view of the marketplace. Depending on what time of year it is, the temperature at this time of day could be quite pleasant... if it's August, though, I'm sure that market won't be open for much longer that day... way too hot. Thomas did an amazing job recreating the San Xavier Mission in vibrant watercolor. I especially love the changes in color on the stone, as the watercolor paints give it a very natural look and texture. And that stylized entry façade is quite exquisite. It's interesting to note that Thomas was able to make the mission the focal point of the piece even though there are layers of woods & canvas shops, and people in front of it---I believe it's due to the contrast of light and shadow, where the darkened marketplace seems to "fade into the background" even though it is literally in the foreground. Marvelous work, Thomas. ::---🖌---:: #tucson #arizona #sanxaviermission #market #marketplace # #painting #illustration #church #architectural #architecturedrawing #architecturaldesign #sunlight #architecturestudy #shadows #paintingtechniques #paintingart #architecturelovers #thomaswschaller [Original Post: https://www.instagram.com/p/BTt5sPWlRW5/; Artist: @thomaswschaller]

For more than fifty years, DeGrazia painted the Sonoran desert, it's creatures and the narratives of the Southwest’s Native American culture.

Working on a painting of San Xavier Mission, DeGrazia was photographed by National Geographic and appeared in an article titled “From Tucson to Tombstone” in 1953. “Mr. DeGrazia, who would like to be a hermit, confesses he hates civilization…Tucson, which once regarded DeGrazia as eccentric, now takes notice because he has become successful. Art buyers beat a path to his door, his ceramics are catching on, and a fabrics manufacturer pays him a cent-a-yard royalty for each sale of skirt material decorated with the artist’s dancing Indians.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
