This one took hours and hours to create, lots of trial and error, lots of just sitting and staring, and I'm still not sure if it's finished. The "bones" of it are part of an adobe wall at Tumacacori Mission in Tucson and a window, wall, and shadow at Mission San Juan Capistrano. Jan N., your shirt appears (once again) in the lower right corner, providing me with just a hint of shading and texture. I'm getting a lot of use out of that photo! I must say, I love this piece. Just love it. The colors, the quiet feeling of it, the compositional balance -- everything works and makes me feel really good. Am thinking of turning this into a very large canvas gallery wrap image for my home. And it takes a LOT for me to consider doing that! ©Carol Leigh
