<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 182423, member: 44"]I have no help on the artist or the title. I was hoping to ID the mission ruins. We have seen and visited many many of the old Spanish missions in the southwest from Texas through New Mexico and Arizona to Calfornia. We haven't visited northwestern Mexico. Many of them are just ruins today. I know for sure we haven't seen this partcular mission ruin. The presences of the saguaro cactus would place the mission in that cactus range - Sonoran Desert of extreme southeastern California, southern Arizona and adjoining northwestern Mexico. I don't believe that cactus grows in TX and not sure if in New Mexico?? Welllll, I haven't had any luck. Can't find any image of any mission ruins that resembles this pic. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thought that surfaced is the possibility the painting is a collection of, supposed, images. It is difficult for me to imagine that wood door would still be intact, still there, with the rest of the church in such ruin.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
