Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside, California

This is a watercolor of the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside, California.  The painting is supposed to be what the Mission looked like in the early part of the 1900's.  That is why it looks a little different than it does today.  It is now restored and is a beautiful place to visit.  Click on the picture to see a larger version of it.

I donated this painting to Mission San Luis Rey.  They said that they would keep it in their Mission art collection and it would hang in their office.

  3. Beautiful! I love that the grass looks soft and out of focus. Looks very real!
