Shadows of San Francisco de Asís is a compelling original painting that transforms a moment of light and architecture into a quiet visual narrative. Inspired by a photograph taken in Taos, New Mexico, the piece captures the distinctive adobe form of the San Francisco de Asís church—a building that shifts in character as sun and shadow dance across its textured surfaces. The interplay of warm tones and cool depths evokes the way light reveals and conceals at once, inviting the viewer to sense the passage of time and the contemplative stillness of this iconic structure.

More than a simple study of a place, this work reflects the way familiar forms can become poetry when filtered through the artist’s eye. The crisp contrasts and gentle gradations of shadow lend a rhythmic quality that speaks to memory, place, and presence. In this compact 12″ x 12″ acrylic, everyday architecture becomes a stage for light’s choreography—an intimate exploration of how shadows shape our perception, hinting at stories beyond the surface and offering a tranquil yet powerful visual experience.

Floating frame on dark wood.
