Painting completed in: 2005

This painting was published on my 2006 Texas Spanish Missions Calendar. I can't believe that I've lived in Texas this long and haven't done a painting of the Alamo, so I am finally masking things right. The Alamo was an Unfinished Mission at the time of the historic battle and the curved crown was actually added later by the U.S. Army. (you can't see the details online but in the sky just above the right side of the Alamo is the Neon sign for the Crockett Hotel and I thought since Davy Crocket Died there it almost seemed ghostly!))
