St Augustine - We visit the city art gallery

The famous "Bridge of Lions" lion

The best place to see art in St Augustine is the St Augustine Art Association which has its own art gallery with an excellent presentation area. It's a big area with room for about 100 paintings hung along the four walls. The lighting is excellent and the artwork itself is mostly first-rate. There is no charge for entry but a donation box is present by the entrance. 

Ann, talking "shop" with the curator

Ann chatted quite a while with the curator, she likes talking "shop". The exhibit included pastels, watercolors, oils, and mixed media. It was all very well done,  we greatly enjoyed the visit. You are not allowed to take photos inside of the paintings but I received permission to take a photo of Ann discussing a painting with the curator. They are only open Tuesdays through Saturdays but that may change after the virus is more under control. 

All ready to go!

Fleetwing is now ready to move one. The water tanks are filled and the washdown pump repaired. We will either go to Fernandina or stop by the Jacksonville Sisters Creek docks, depending upon how ferocious the foul tide is on Wednesday, it will be against us most of the day.
