The historic
Chichimeca War (1540–1590) signalling the beginning of the end of the Spanish
Empire, centered in San Miguel. In the twentieth
century, its Baroque/Neoclassical colonial structures have attracted a
significant number of foreign artists, writers, retirees and tourists,
including many Canadians. It’s been on my bucket list for many years.
In a 2010 VirtualPaintout blog post, I
mentioned that I’d avoided painting this church because it looked too difficult
(I thought about that sort of thing more back then.)
