In what it looks like the most extended summer I've ever seen (It's November and it's still hot) I decided to paint the San Gabriel Mission from the gardens as my submission for the San Gabriel Plein Air 2008 extravaganza of the San Gabriel Fine Arts Association . My intention was to travel around the city and avoid the mission since usually shun the typical and like a few challenges. But once in there, the place is so peaceful and romantic that it just felt like a crime not to enjoy for it a bit so there, I stayed, what can I say, there'll be plenty of time for soot and grime. Plus they allowed artists in for free and i was not about to miss that. A big thanks to the amazing organizers Alfred Tse and Alice Lee and all the others whose name i can't retain and that work so hard to get a little bit of the arts in this town.

Hi Jose..
I saw your San Gabriel Mission painting when I went to drop off for this event. We painted similar scenes... Your was MUCH better!! Gorgeous.
I also had a painting at SoPas but missed meeting you. I think mine sold to the treasurer. Pretty exciting isn't it????
I look forward to meeting you one day.
Congratulations, Jose!!!
Your AWARD is well deserved!!! It is a gorgeous painting! Was yours one of the paintings that sold on the San Gabriel reception night as well???
