Available at Gallery B!I think because arches are organic in shape, they make for a pleasant feeling when viewed in the landscape. They repeat the shapes of nature---tree limbs, grasses, the slight arc of a bird's wing. This particular arch is a portion of the old mission, San Juan Capistrano. It has inspired many an artist for many a year and I am no exception. The day I visited here, it was filled with school children, running noisily about and tents were set up on the grounds for an evening event. I am sure the arch and roses below have seen many such things come and go. There is a peacefulness and calmness about them. I am not sure why, but I am continually drawn to the pairing of tumbled old bricks, weather worn mortar and velvety, tender roses.
