Along El Camino Real: Edwin Deakin’s Twenty-One Missions in Watercolor By Kerry Methner, PhD / CASA

San Juan Capistrano, c. 1897, by Edwin Deakin (1838-1923), 8.5 x 11.5” | Watercolor on paper “There is something incredibly beautiful about the patina of time,” Frank Goss noted of the above painting. “In most of his paintings, the artist presents monumental structures bathed in radiant sunshine....with weeds and native plants providing the backdrop. Perhaps more than any of the other Mission paintings by Deakin, this structure, largely because the gaping apse is adjacent to the weed strewn courtyard, there is a sense of ennui - the boredom of abandonment juxtaposed to the magniﬁcence of a grand architecture.”
