The study was created prior for the large commissioned mural. It first served as a "color test" of the custom made under-glaze majolica colors and how they held up during the high fire of the top gloss glaze. Afterwords the artist used this study as her primary guide in perfecting and achieving the soft muted colors in a antique mission palette. You can see from the photos the hand made process of both the clay and the paints. The center tile shows a fracture in the glaze, and this was done in the kiln, does not affect the integrity of the painting or the cemented and mounted hand made tile. To the artist the fracture represents the inevitable earthquake in 1804 that destroyed the bell tower. High fire ceramics have inevitable characteristics that give character to the artwork, and occurs in the kiln at temperatures above 1800 degrees.


The painting is extremely durable, will never fade or discolor even in direct sunlight, and cannot scratch. It is a masterpiece and will last forever.


The painting has an oak leaf border as a symbolic accent because the acorns from the LIVE OAK TREE was a staple food for the Juaneno Indians.
