On my recent photo-taking trip I met up with Annie and headed out to Tonopah. Tonopah is a small farming community in the far west valley. Some joke you can see the Pacific Ocean from the mountain tops.
Annie’s mother, Joy McArthur, is a very talented artist. I so enjoyed stories that she shared with me about some of her paintings and will share some with you in later posts. This is a piece she is doing for one of her granddaughters, Sara. It is a painting of San Xavier del Bac in Tucson, Arizona. The mission was founded by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. The current structure was started in 1783 and completed in 1797. Mass is still celebrated at San Xavier.
Since Sara is Annie’s daughter, I know I’ll be able to enjoy this painting when it’s done.

nice...great start...are we going to get to see the finished product?
What fun to see art in progress! Yes, it would be great to see the finished product.
I love that church.
The picture looks beautiful. In answer to your question - yes, I'm enjoying the Jonathan Maberry books. I'm halfway through the first one and have the next two waiting on my iPad to read when I finish the first. Thanks for introducing me to them - the writing is very well done. I'm enjoying it a lot. I introduced my son to the trilogy today - we like the same type of book. Might make a nice Christmas present for him.
How lucky to be the recipient of that beauty!
Looks like it's going to be a nice finished product.
Reading your sidebar about what you're reading, I think Santa needs to bring you a Kindle!
It's beautiful, just like that. :)
Did I know she was a painter? Yes, that's right. Annie has a painting or two. That is fabulous! I wish I was artsy.
