Last Tuesday the 19th, some of the art students, including me, went on a feild trip to Santa fe. It was enjoyable, though I was pretty familiar with everything they had to offer. One of my favorite parts was when we went inside this beautiful church to draw. Our original intent was to draw at the Plaza but it was too cold. I loved the weather though, overcast and what looked like a chance of rain, beautiful.

I've never been a huge fan of churches but I've recently been interested in Christian artwork. Stepping inside this church it was absolutely gorgeous. I've never really seen many older fancy churches and now I want to visit others. I loved the amazing size of it and all the beautiful stained glass windows. I wish I would've gotten more pictures but I had little space left on my camera.

The church is called St. France's Cathedral and was dedicated in 1886. the cathedral was designed by French architects, carved by Italian stonemasons and built by local New Mexican residants.
