    Rowe GallerySedona AZ (October 25, 2021) – Good things come in small packages – even art. Whether your collection is bursting at the seams and space is limited, you’re just dipping your toes into the realm of art, or you’re shopping for holiday gifts, Rowe Fine Art Gallery’s November small-works show, Itty, Bitty…and Oh, So Pretty!, is your one-stop shop. The show opens Friday, November 5, at 4 p.m. and continues through the entire month.

    Itty, Bitty…and Oh, So Pretty! features tabletop-size sculptures and paintings that measure no more than nine inches by twelve inches. There will be plenty of jewelry available, too. And fitting for a show focused on small works, bronze wildlife sculptor and gallery owner Ken Rowe plans to officially unveil Desert Blossom, his bronze pygmy owl perched on a sotol stem. The life-size sculpture measures a mere 6.5 inches from the tip of its tail to the top of its head.

    Ken, who usually sculpts from real-life models, created Desert Blossom based on photos as well as measurements from and conversations with a biologist because the tiny owls are so scarce, even in their native Southwest and even in captivity.

    “I’ve always wanted to sculpt one, but I had no idea they were so rare,” says Ken. “They are such beautiful little creatures, and, according to the biologist, ounce for ounce, they are some of the meanest birds in the world. I suppose when you’re that small, you have to be a bit of a tough guy.”

    Napoleon complex aside, art collectors have fallen hard for Desert Blossom because its size makes it so easy to display. Discover other small (and giftable) works at Rowe Fine Art Gallery in November.

The gallery, located under the bell tower in Patio de las Campanas at Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  For more information, call 928-282-8877, visit rowegallery.com, or find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
