SAN MIGUEL MISSION CHURCH - 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 pastel

SAN MIGUEL MISSION CHURCH
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel*
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

During my last trip to Santa Fe, I returned to a favorite site. 
The San Miguel Mission Church is revered as the oldest
church in the United States and built by the Tlaxcalan
Indians in the early 1600's. 

The rich adobes walls are a wonderful contrast to Santa Fe's
blue skies.

FRIDAY BREAK

2 + A HOLE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR It's been a long week getting everything together for the opening of Frayed , so decided I needed a sweet treat to chill out. Nothing like a frosted donut which is always so yummy! When I was young my Mother used to make homemade donuts, which is indescribable. At that time my sister and 3 brothers fought over the "holes", which were a perfect one-bite affair that always melted in our mouths. Those were the days!
