This painting I have wanted to paint for many years.
Doing the period that I was living in Arizona we would
visit this beautiful mission several times a year.
It is the only mission still used with a school for the local
people next to it. The mission was built in 1783 and about
ten years ago some of the artists that renovated the Sistine
Chapel in the Vaican came to Tucson to renovate this mission.
I have many memories of the time spent there.
One visit we attended an Easter service and a Mariachi Band
played thru' the service an experience I will never forget.
This mission is a must to visit.
