“My Misiones<\/em> paintings are my interpretation of the old chapels and churches of the Southwest region. I have always been drawn to the weathered exteriors, hand construction and beauty of these sacred places.\u00a0 I love to travel and visit many of the churches I paint. I utilize photographs, many historical, (my favorite are the old black and whites!) then I sketch multiple images of various perspectives to decide on composition. Then, a few value and color sketches and I am now ready to start working on the canvas.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0I am often asked why I paint churches. During a very difficult time in my life, about seven years ago, I started solely painting small vibrantly colored church images. This work helped me through that hard time. And, I’ve been painting churches ever since.” says Krajnik.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bobby Lee will be revealing six new works at the exhibition in addition to the gallery’s current collection.<\/strong><\/p>\n Come and experience this this captivating collection of Misiones, <\/em>meet the artist, and join us for refreshments and live music.<\/strong><\/p>\n
