"Mission Espada"

9 x 12 plein air
oil on hardboard

Just got back from an Outdoor Painter's Society paint out in San Antonio. Had the joy of seeing, and painting, a few of these beautiful old missions. This is the first painting I did of the San Jose Mission, dated 1731. It is the southernmost mission along the San Antonio River trail of the five missions .

    This just appeals to me on so many levels, Ann. Your composition is beautiful, your brush strokes amazing (especially in the building itself), and your palette - gorgeous.

    Nice Ann! Great job on the stone work and my favorite part is how you painted the foliage/flowers in the foreground.
