DAY 7 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

"Portico de Las Capuchinas"
(portico at the convent of the Capuchin nuns, Antigua, Guatemala

oil on canvasboard

with Kaye Franklin - who I have often painted with - to Guatemala.
I have found many subjects to paint from the photos I took on that trip.

We tour-sized Antigua, Guatemala.. One of the great places we were privileged

This is the arched portico that surrounded the courtyard of the convent.
I found it very inviting, peaceful and quiet. This place was full 
of interesting architectural phenomena.

I have corrected the painting from Day 6 below.
