ADOBE CHURCH,
TIJERAS, N.M.

 This little church in Tijeras, New Mexico, I call Adobe Church, was a very familiar sight to me for many years and was the first church that I painted and I also lived close to Tijeras, in English, scissors.  
 Although this watercolor was not the first painting I did of the church. Indeed this one was my second approach to the rendition. The first was before the village of  Tijeras had restored it, pretty much as you see it here but with more additional landscaping. The painting is approximately 8 1/2"x11" paper size.
