Mission Ruins on the Trinity – Spanish Texas History Poster (Thick Matte, Unframed with Black Border)

“...of church, house of the Padres and kitchen, there is nothing...”
Fray Marentes wrote these haunting words in an inventory for the King after the hurricane of September 4, 1766, which destroyed the presidio and mission at Orcoquisac. No images of the church survived, and after the storm, the mission itself was gone.

Inspired by the early Spanish missions of Texas, this painting imagines what that lost church might have looked like—its weathered stone walls set against resilient trees along the Trinity River. A tribute to Spanish Texas history and the endurance of faith, it blends historical research with artistic vision.

Printed on premium thick matte paper, this unframed poster preserves the brushwork and texture of the original acrylic painting. With its black border, it’s ready for display in any home, study, or gallery.
