The deep greens contrasting with the sunlit adobe in Josephine Joy's San Diego Mission evoke the verdant locale of California's first Spanish mission, Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá. The painting shows the historic building over time; cracked and exposed brick stands out against the intricate bell tower that was added to the structure during renovations in 1931.
