Desert Icons: Mission and Cactus

30x22 watercolor on 140 lb rough cold press paper, an imaginary desert scene of a mission front and saguaro beside it.  Years ago I first painted this with some variation and this time used rough paper for texture on the old stucco facade.  It is not photorealism but one I enjoyed painting again in a southwest style.
