"Sun at the Mission" - Oil - 12" x 16" - SOLD
"I started this painting in Santa Ynez, but the wind that day was untenable. After losing my hat several times and, finally, having the easel blow over, I retreated. When I resumed work in my studio in northern California, I found that my reference photos were not sufficient to describe the scene precisely. Instead of an exact representation, I painted what dominated my impression of the scene...the brilliant sun on the walls of the mission. It works as a depiction of a historic icon of southern California." --- SFG
