I entered a new painting in the Artist Workshop Exhibit which is still open til April in NSB at the Marine Discovery center. I was very excited about it, since I tried something new: I did some wilder, cooler colors in a more sketchy manner, and mixed some gold leaf in with the design. I painted this in the studio over 3 sessions, from a photo I took in St. Augustine. I like how the palms rise up against the side of the church, and how the dome was gleaming in the sunlight. So I wanted to emphasize this with the gold leaf. It looks quite different from various angles.
Mein neuestes Gemaelde daheim im Studio gemalt in 3 Sitzungen, von einem Photo in St. Augustine. Die wilden, kuehlen Farben, die ich sehr skizzenhaft hingeworfen hatte, sehen toll aus mit dem Goldblatt, das ich fuer die Kuppel und die Palmen benutzte. Das Gemaelde sieht sehr unterschieden aus, was total auf den Standort und das Licht des Raumes drauf ankommt.

In two weeks I will be painting at Epcot Flower and Garden Festival again. I will be in Italy again, and will try out some new painting methods... Wait for lots of pictures!
See you soon. Ruth
