Holy Trinity, 2
Holy Trinity, 2 A print of my painting Holy Trinity , which was the subject of my last posting, was on display at a show I had in 2006. I was asked by an attendee if I would do a similar painting of Wilmington's Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church for him. I didn't want to do a near-duplicate painting, so I chose a different view of the church and did some rethinking of my encircling Greek folk dancers. This time I used a combination of aqueous media, both watercolor and acrylic. This enabled me to introduce metallic pigmented elements. The folk dancers are no longer circling the church, but are entering from the right on a gold background on an uncoiling scroll . Approaching them from the left are ancient Greek dancers and musicians By 2006 the metallic cladding was in place on the dome of Holy Trinity Now I could paint the dome in its finished state.
