I found a couple of wonderful images of country churches, that I wanted to sketch. I decided to add the birds for character. I think they're rather charming.

Mission in the Sun


The DeGrazia chapel is located in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson, Az. Artist Ted Degrazia built this lovely chapel in the 1950's on his property in honor of Padre Kino and in dedication to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Ranchos de Taos



San Francisco de Assisi Mission church is located in Ranchos de Taos, Nm. The adobe spanish and native architectural style church was completed in 1816. This beloved church was depicted by  photographers and painters such as Ansel Adams, Paul Strand and Georgia O'keeffe. It is still one of the most highly photographed and painted buildings in the United States to this day.

SOLD!!

"After the Rain"
8 x 8 x1.5" inches

This little painting sold at my "Nuevos Comienzos" show in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  It was a great show! This 8 x 8" painting is of a little church in Pecos, Nm. near Santa Fe.  The quality of the photo is very poor. I forgot to photograph it properly, and it sold within a couple of days of being hung in the gallery. The painting is actually quite lovely.

White Dove



Bobby Lee Krajnik
"White Dove"
11 x 9 x 1.5" inches

This mortuary chapel is part of the San Xavier del Bac Mission. Located about 9 miles south of Tucson on the Tohono O'odham San Javier Indian Reservation, the "White Dove of the Desert" was completed in 1797 and is the oldest intact European structure in Arizona.  I found the chapel so lovely that I wanted to paint it. If you are ever in southern Arizona, the mission is a must see!

Dream Come True!


SOLD

Bobby Lee Krajnik
"Dream Come True!"
6 x 6 x 1.5" inches
oil on board

San Miguel chapel is the oldest church in Santa Fe, Nm. and possibly the oldest church still in use in the United States. I have simplified this painting and used a lot of contrast in color and value.  I've named this painting "Dream Come True!" for the New Year. I wish all of you a Happy New Year and that all your dreams will come true in 2014!
