Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserve) Franciscan Fathers completed building this Spanish Mission in 1816, near Taos, New Mexico. It was named after their patron Saint, Francis of Assisi. The light and shadows created by the architectural lines and the huge buttresses at the rear of the church were made famous by photographers Ansel Adams and Paul Strand. Although these thick adobe walls are very durable in sunshine, they do not fare so well in the rainy seasons. So they must be repaired every year by the faithful members of the church, the community and those who come long distances to visit. I was truly inspired when I discovered that something so beautiful and lovingly maintained, was built with ... Mud And Straw.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green square magnifier as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
