Two of the painter’s favorite places merge into a single image: the beach at Mullet Key in the Gulf of Mexico and Mt. St. Michel on the coast of Normandy. The multiple towers rise like prisms; the star-like finials surmounting them were “borrowed” from St. Mark’s in Venice. The sunset gulf colors and the Gothic tracery of black lines combine to make this tapestry of gold leaf and paint a truly eclectic vision.
