The artwork that I had chosen from the President’s Gallery was Kabuki St. Augustine by Maureen Warren. There were only two figures in the foreground mostly in black and white coloring, while the background was black. Even though the whole piece was in black and white since it came from a linocut, the red and blue watercolors were the only colors in the piece. The red and blue colors surround the man’s eyes while woman’s eyes, lips, and a line that is at the left side of her head were painted red. The way that the colors were shaped in geometric shapes almost made them look like Native Americans preparing for a battle. Based on the color’s mass, my eyes mainly directed at the colors of the male figure since there were two colors involved and …show more content…

On Black-Friday, we started our journey although later than originally planned due to traffic congestion of crazed shoppers. Changing our plans according to our delays, we parked at Sugar Mill Train station to embark on our tour. Our narrator like always was very enthusiastic quickly catching all of our attention in the process. I originally anticipated departing to look around the Presbyterian Church. Unfortunately, due to our late start we were all-hungry and decided instead to get off at St. George Street. My grandson really loved the tram ride and was not at all interested in getting off. Luckily, a distraction by a horse and carriage and the mention of ice cream he soon forgot all about the train. After a snack, a little shopping and a lengthy stroll we were ready to finish our train tour. Completing the train tour, we then chose the lighthouse for our next destination instead of the Fort. Upon arrival to the lighthouse, we were soon disappointed when they would not allow my grandson to be carried to the top...
