On Our Lady of Guadalupe day (not MY Lady of Guadalupe!), Suzan and I were touring The Plaza when we found James' work. It's in the lobby area at the entrance to Art Under the Arches gallery caty-corner of the Visitors' Center/Chamber of Commerce.
Roderick's rich colors vividly capture the pathos that surrounds this iconic figure. But it's his unique take on the gal that makes the work interesting: Our Lady astride a Harley; warming her hands at a campfire; contemplating her likeness on candles.
Approx 14 w x 24 h
He also has a coloring book.
Roderick has had a long-term interest in goddesses and has painted images from Buddhist and Hindu mythologies as well.

I'm in Why and will check this out next time I'm in Ajo. Were you at Buckeye Hills Regional Park the other day?
ReplyDeleteHi Al. Yeah, that was me. I tho't I recognized your vehicle. I was on my way to a Dr. appt in Prescott Valley or would've stopped to say hi. I'll be at Marcela's in Ajo at 1:00 on Tuesday to celebrate Suzan's birthday. Come and join us or flag me down. I'll be in the area for a few days.
DeleteAnd in celebration of Suzan's birthday, lunch is my treat. Please join us.
Deleteawesome art
ReplyDeleteI was in a gallery a few weeks ago in Scottsdale called the Sacred Art Gallery. I had recently seen your paintings in Ajo.
ReplyDeleteYou may be interested in visiting their website as I think your art would fit in their gallery nicely and they are looking for those who do a sacred theme. Present your very best pieces...links on the site on how to contact them and present your work.
