An Artist's Journal:Paintings by Felicia Marshall

5”x7” acrylic on hardboard This is one of the smaller missions in San Antonio. I was lucky enough to be at the mission on a bright day, which paid off when another tourist walked out of the door and left it open just a bit letting sunlight into the very dark and small space. It was so beautiful the way the light danced across the tiled floor and filled the room. SOLD

6”x 6” acrylic on masonite This image was captured on my first trip to the San Antonio Missions. There are about four others including the more famous Alamo. I loved the way the light filters through the tree and mission. I had to pull out my salt trick to add a little texture to the walls of the mission.

6”x 6” acrylic on masonite While in the interior of one particular mission, I was moved by light that had filtered through one of the windows and lit up one of the curtains. I couldn’t leave without taking a photograph. Some of the missions do still have services and a couple of them are actually found in the middle of neighborhoods. It was obvious that the neighborhood and city had grown up around them.
