Painting California's Missions

Maurice Baldwin has painted all of California’s 21 missions, from” Mission San Diego de Alcala” to “Mission San Francisco de Solano”.  Maurice’s paintings tell an impressive story of an artist’s travels and his ability to paint remarkable sites.  Maurice’s travels have taken him to 13 countries in Europe plus other countries in the world.  From Greece he has painted the “Acropolis” plus other sites including several of the Greek islands.  Many of his paintings are from a two-year trip on his sailboat to Mexico, which includes one of his favorite places, The “Man of War Cove” at Bahia Magdalena.  In London, England, the “Tower Bridge” caught his eye.  Many places in this country such as “Zion National Park” has been an inspiration to him.  Maurice has created a large palette from which he can draw inspiration and creativity.  His work is incredibly detailed and realistic, combining the natural colors and use of light and space to create art that looks good anywhere. Imagine yourself standing at the banks of the “Skagit River” in Washington, or at the base of “Wailua Falls” in Hawaii.  With each beautiful masterpiece comes a story, and the story continues with what you’ll do with this amazing art!
