watercolors of the California missions
While visiting a friend in a super posh retirement home in La Jolla, I saw a wall full of these incredible watercolor paintings of the California
missions.
I think you will like these, and I wish we had some for Baja.
I see that I posted these by accident under "questions" and I am not sure how to change that. HELP!

They are very nice.
In Baja, only 8 stone missions are original and intact. Others have vanished with modern churches on the site or are ruins with a few having
foundations preserved.

Casa de Mañana is the retirement home where my good friend and mentor from college days is staying. We should all be so lucky: it is so beautiful,
in front of La Jolla ocean and only costs - please sit down and take a deep breath (this is what she told me to do as she prepared to tell me) - it
costs a mere six thousand five hunrid dollas. A month!
Do you have any idea how many kids I could sponsor with that?????
I had lost touch with her and it was great to see her still working at 91! Yup, she still gets taken to the office.

One early painter of the Alta CA missions was Alexander F. Harmer (1856–1925), a resident of Santa Barbara.
"Mission San Luis Rey"
"Santa Barbara Mission"
"Cold-blooded murder of an Indian, Feb. 23rd, 1824"
(The date refers to the Chumash revolt at Missions Santa Inés, Santa Barbara, and La Purísima.
