This month local artist Max Randolph Studios installed a custom 12-foot-tall sculpture of a great oak tree in the historic courtyard of Mission San Antonio de Padua. The Mission commissioned Randolph to build the sculpture in honor of the many donors who donated to support the Mission’s recent retrofit. The copper leaves are hand-stamped with individual donor names. The sculpture not only honors significant financial donors, but also the three divisions of the Salinan Tribe, inscribed on the three tree branches of the tree.
