"Connection" was awarded Second Place in the 32nd Annual Membership Waterworks Exhibition of the Northwest Watercolor Society.
Comments from Juror Laurie Goldstein-Warren: "This painting intrigues me on many levels. I love how the roots of the tree are embracing the figure. It makes me think of how nature cares for us, even if we don’t do the same sometimes. Technically, the work is so beautiful, with clean colors and the genius integration of the animals, especially in the water. I knew at first glance this was in the top 5. Great work!" |
Watercolor West
Congratulations!
We are pleased to inform you that your artwork, “The Winter of Michael's 71st Year”, was selected by Juror Ken Call for the 56th annual Watercolor West International Juried Exhibition! Last year I achieved Master Status with Watercolor West after being accepted into my 10th show. With this years acceptance I am now up to 11. When I first started entering watercolor shows back in 2008 Watercolor West was the first one I entered. The first 5 years I entered my work was rejected. Over the next 12 years my work would get in 11 times! Quite a turn around! My record with this group brings me great pride and a tremendous sense of accomplishment. So, never give up. Patience, Persistence and Positivity are the keys to success in Art and in Life. |
