This is the Rose window at Mission San Jose in San Antonio. There are 4 other missions besides the Alamo and often people don't take the time to see them all as they are sprerad out along what we call the Mission trail in San Antonio. They are well worth the effort to see and this beautiful ornate window is really a treat to see. Now when painting this--you really have to squint and simplify the shapes or risk worrying about eery little curlique and missing the strength of this design.
