Mission Santa Barbara is a Spanish mission founded in 1786 by Franciscan Monks. They have an Italian street painting festival called i madonnari every Memorial day weekend. Some of the art was still there when we went the other day, though it is a bit tire marked, which adds interest. Here are a few of the creations on the parking lot.
I love this concept of free art of the moment made by the regular people, to eventually wash away with the rains after it's vibrant life is over. How like these old bodies of ours. We need to spread our own unique form of art, whatever it may be, while we can.
This is Saint Barbara, featured in the lovely chapel at the mission.
My sweet California wanderings are about over - headed home tonight, no place like it.
