Original watercolor painting of the historic Santuario de Chimayó in northern New Mexico, viewed through a rustic adobe gateway with weathered wooden doors. The artist captures the warm terracotta hues of the famed pilgrimage site beneath a vivid blue sky, with nuanced attention to sunlit courtyard shadows and adobe textures. Signed and dated lower right (“[K. …?], ’99”). Elegantly presented under a double mat in a brushed metal frame.


Collecting Note:

The Santuario de Chimayó is one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations in the American Southwest, celebrated for its adobe architecture and spiritual heritage. This 1999 watercolor, created and framed in New Mexico, reflects the hallmarks of late 20th-century Southwestern regional art. A compelling acquisition for collectors of New Mexico landscapes, mission-themed works, or devotional architecture.
