This original oil painting by Andrea Rodriguez captures the historic beauty of Old Main, the heart of the University of Arizona. Framed by lush desert landscaping and vibrant blooms, the iconic red-brick architecture stands proudly beneath the brilliant Arizona sky. With rich textures and meticulous details, this piece reflects the timeless spirit and heritage of the university, making it a stunning tribute for alumni, students, and admirers of Tucson’s history.
It’s so easy to fall in love with Tucsonan landmarks and DeGrazia chapel is no different. The adobe thick wall plastered in specific organic form, the sun or moon hitting you from an open wood ceiling and desert landscape will make you feel the beauty of history. The chapel is for every religion.Â
One of my favorite themes is to paint our beautiful desert. With the coming of spring every year our land quickly transfers to pure magic. These cactus and other desert plants burst forth in bloom turning the desert into a virtual flower garden of beautiful flowers.
