4" x 4" on Watercolor Paper
After visiting Italy a few times and having the opportunity to view the illuminated letters in
Vatican collection, I've been wanting to play around with doing one. In fact a few years ago at the Lancaster Festival we had a guest artist from Chicago that did wonderful work. He even mix his own pigments, my first time seeing maganese blue in it pure state.
The background behind the letter is Gold, but it doesn't show very well, I'll try to get a better picture next time.
