Ted DeGrazia -1909-1982

Ted DeGrazia became one of Arizona's most prominent
painters.  He lived most of his life near Tucson and worked in his studio that he called "Gallery in the Sun".  This is where I visited his work.  He's known around the World for capturing the spirit of the Southwest and its people.  I fell in love with his face and needed to paint him in pastels..

    Bonjour ma chère amie,

    Comment est-ce possible d'avoir manqué autant de vos merveilleux billets ?
    Il est vrai que depuis la venue de Icarus mon cher dalmatien dans ma vie, j'ai du mal avec la pendule ! Il absorbe tout mon temps, ma patience !!... Je me promène de longues heures avec lui chaque jour... Il a du mal à vouloir rester seul, sans moi ! Une véritable pot de colle !!... Mais je l'aime tant que je lui pardonne !
    Me pardonnerez-vous pour ma négligence ?...
    J'ai toutefois fait un petit retour en arrière et j'y ai découvert des petites merveilles. Dans chacun des portraits que vous saisissez avec une aisance incroyable on retrouve la douceur de vos traits et votre sensibilité. Votre talent est grand.
    Vous aviez si habilement capturé le regard de mon cher petit Nathan qui va avoir 3 ans déjà ce 25 novembre prochain ! Un petit frère est annoncé pour le 29 décembre...
    Mon autre fille Daphné attend aussi un heureux événement pour ce 7 novembre...
    Vous comprenez que je sois en pleine effervescence ces temps-ci !
    Je termine en vous embrassant très fort et je m'en retourne admirer à nouveau vos oeuvres.
    Bisous

    Hilda, another wonderful portrait. Your work is truly outstanding. I can't say I favor one over the other they are all so beautifully painted. But more than that, your capture the personality of the people you have painted. You are truly a gifted artist.

    This is such a poignantly beautiful portrait, Hilda - and such a wonderful tribute to this artist. What I love most about this is his pensive expression. Beautifully done.
