Carol Sutton in her Barcelona Triangle studio painting gold circles of Golden Paint Interference Gold color, with a fan shaped brush, onto the canvas titled- Virgin of the Cherries. [source -a Gothic work seen at the Catalonian Art Museum.]

Two paintings can be seen in the rear, the painting titled-Green Goya I, and the small canvas, Romanesque Fresco is one inspired by the the Catalonian Art and Ceramics Museum, Palau National de Montjuic.
