St. Stephen's Art Show poster unveiled at party

This is the painting by artist Rasa Saldaitis that is being used for the poster for this year's St. Stephen's Art Show. It was unveiled last night at a party at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on McFarlane Road.

Rasa proudly showed off her work in the garden next to the church. The name of the painting is "Under the Palms" and Rasa explained to the crowd that she got the idea for the impressionistic work right from the Nepenthe Garden, she looked up and the palm trees were her muse.

The Solar Dogs performed all night as people enjoyed Asian-inspired food and lots of drinks. Copa di Vino, the wine served by the glass, was the special drink of the night.

The St. Stephen's Art Show is February 16, 17 and 18 and runs alongside the Coconut Grove Arts Festival that same weekend.
