Iglesia San Jose

11x15 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper painted today. I dressed it up the old church w/ Mexico's tradition of burning the bad. They make a list annually of the things they don't want in their lives anymore and on New Year's the list is burned so as to start fresh without anything in their way. What a good idea!
