"The strong Florida sun cast dancing shadows of these two palms against the side of the building, now the Casa Monica Hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, but originally a resort hotel built at the turn of the century during the oldest city's Flagler era. The ornate columns echoed the trees and I decided to capture the scene with bright, tropical colors, leaving much of the background as the stark white unpainted paper.

I used a limited number of colors -- Red Rose Deep, Hansa Yellow, Cobalt, and Winsor Blue -- mixing most of my shades on the pallette as opposed to letting them mix on the paper. The colors of the painting are entirely abstract, but because the 'value' (light and dark areas) are accurate, the image is realistic."

* The "Giclée" print represents the newest technology in fine art limited editions. Judy has chosen the Giclée method because it captures the detail and infinite color nuances of the original painting better than all other reproduction methods. Although the cost per print is much higher than offset printed reproductions, Judy feels it is the best choice for making her work more widely available.

Each Giclée exhibits the look and feel of the original watercolor painting, right down to the paper it is printed on, which is acid-free 100% cotton fiber. The Giclée longevity fine art ink is waterbased - like the original watercolor pigments Judy painted with. The process is a revolutionary marriage of fine art and state of the art. Like an original watercolor, a Gicleé should be matted and framed under glass and protected from damage of ultraviolet light rays.
