Painting the Missions



I set as my winter project this year to sketch and paint all of the 21 California Missions. A few of them have been within range to paint on site but most I have painted from pictures. It was a good exercise to improve my skills in drawing perspective.

This painting was done on site. It is the closest of all of the missions to where we live and I have gone there several times to paint. It is Mission San Jose founded in 1797.
