Midnight, San Patricio

This piece depicts "La Iglesia de San Patricio" in full moonlight. Deep in the Hondo Valley of Southern New Mexico, the small wood and stucco church was built by an Irish priest in 1875 in San Patricio, New Mexico.  Now, rather than weekly mass, this landmark structure hosts special visits, pilgrimages, and select community gatherings.

This piece is part of our New Works in Three Media exhibition -- three side-by-side exhibitions featuring Weems Gallery artists Dennis Chamberlain, Dan Stouffer, and Renee Marz-Mullis, each demonstrating mastery and discovery in their own media.
