"This "funky" shop used to be on Highway A1A in St. Augustine Beach, Florida, and I always thought it had loads of character. Every morning the owners would haul out the big fiberglass shark! This was my first attempt to depict nighttime - in this case, pre-dawn. The original of this painting sold on the second day of the first show it was in! I expected it to sell to a local person who would recognize the setting, but it sold to a family from Michigan. They wrote me: 'My husband grew up fishing and, of course, had a fishing buddy who took equal pleasure in their outings. We look forward to enjoying your work in our home.'"

* 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.
