St. Francis of Assisi statue, Mission San Juan Bautista

“St. Francis of Assisi statue”
14 x 11 inches
Oil on canvas

At a recent visit to California Mission San Juan Bautista, I saw this small statue in the inner garden area and thought it would be interesting to paint. The late afternoon sunlight made the weathered granite glow. I don’t know how old the statue was, but it had certainly been softened by the elements.
