DeGrazia said, “When I say I am intimately acquainted with every adobe in my studio, I mean it. I put them up. And as I felt the need for more room, I added another studio–-–one for display, one for painting, one for ceramics, one for living quarters.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
My interpretation of throwback was something that is an older version of something still used today. This is an old coke bottle from the 1930s.
DeGrazia remembered well the criticism he received in those early days from people who thought his art was no good. They did not like how DeGrazia followed his own rules in art. On one occasion, DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is also on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Natural apparently is here to stay, but throwback was already officially off the market when we discovered it in foothill gas stations.
I love the big buttons on this thing! And the kickstand!? I remember sooo many old things having a kickstand just like this one when I was a kid. Sure brought back memories...
