San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, (founded 1720 and designed to convert and integrate Native Americans into Spanish society) is the largest colonial mission in San Antonio, TX. A bilingual Mariachi Mass is held here every Sunday. #travel #tourism #sanantonio #texas #spanishmission #sanjosemission

Here's another San Antonio area site, the Mission San Jose (circa 1768). My painting illustrates the front elevation of this edifice after a thunderstorm. (Acrylic, 11" x 14" x 1 1/2" on cribbed wood panel) #acrylicpainting #sanjosemission #sanantoniomission #sanantoniopainting #travelpainting
