    Jerome AZ (October 26, 2015) – The Gallery 527 November 7th Jerome Art Walk will continue the show of new works by Ramona Stites. Her latest body of work includes 15 new oil paintings and is titled “Playing with Knives”. Stites, long time resident and established artist in the Verde Valley is known for her contemporary Southwestern landscape paintings in oil and pastel as well as her abstract paintings in oil and acrylic.

    Ramona has lived in the Verde Valley since the mid 70’s and began her art career in the early 90’s. Her distinctive style has developed over the years and she has shown her work both locally and out of state. Her collectors have come to know her work through various art publications and galleries as well as her own gallery, which she ran from 2002 through 2009. Stites currently works from her in home studio in Clarkdale, AZ.

    Ms. Stites is always experimenting and trying new things, but her roots are in her landscape work. Her newest pieces, which will be on display through November 30th, are all created with a palette knife. Generally Stites works with brushes, but sometimes also combines techniques. In this series she uses strictly painting knives for paint application. Her new works are inspired from scenes in Arizona and New Mexico.

    “ I always like to push and challenge myself and see what might happen. I feel these pieces are most certainly recognizable as my work, but they also allowed me to find my expression within a somewhat new dimension. Palate knife is not new to me, but working strictly with it is a different approach for me.”

    Ramona’s influences in her painting include the impressionist painters but she is also very much influenced by modern art. Color is very important to Stites’ art and she works intuitively with that art element. In this new series, texture becomes important as well, as seen by the impasto method used in these pieces.
    Please join us at Gallery 527 at 527 Main Street, Jerome, AZ on Saturday, November 7th from 5pm to 8pm for great art, conversation and refreshments. For more information contact us at 928-649-2277 or see us at or like us on Facebook.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
