Journey Within


personal collection

Journey Within
6 x 6 x 3/4"

The inspiration for this little painting is an adobe mission in San Miguel, California. The original structure was built in the late 1700's, but was later rebuilt and completed in 1821 after a fire destroyed the earlier church. In 2003 an earthquake hit the area and severely damaged the buildings and closed the mission. The parish is once again operating and thriving following restoration.

I loosely based this little textural treasure on a San Antonio mission.  I've added bright blue accents, lots of texture and magpies to make this a fun little piece!

Adobe church



Adobe Church

This adobe church painting is loosely based on the Mission of San Acacio in the San Luis Valley. Built in the early 1860s, it is considered one of the oldest standing churches in Colorado. I thought it was the oldest but upon further research I discovered several churches claiming the same. I'll just leave that up to the historians and continue with my paintings.
