Behind a wall in the tiny crossroads of New Mexico, stands this 1830's Catholic mission church, San Francisco de Asis. My painting nods at the patron saint with a collection of local brids within the foreground cemetery. (Acrylic, 11"x14"x1.5" on wood panel) #stfrancis #art #fineart #spanishmission
