Announcing the 2007 Ones to WatchPosted by jessica
Having just received a phone call from one of the artists featured in our December issue—a “One to Watch,” no less—I’m reminded that we haven’t yet announced the artists here. As in the past, we asked the country’s most popular watercolor instructors and competition jurors (back in March) to nominate those artists whose work was turning heads. We then contacted the nominees, asking them to submit images for consideration in the piece, and a month or so later we spent an entire day poring over the submissions. The WCM staff picked our 10 favorites, and voilà: the Ones to Watch.

Here are the comments by the Artist who nominated me.
Carolyn Lord is one of my favorite artists. Her paintings have wonderful design and they inspire me, so I am thrilled she likes my work.
Robin Purcell (Danville, California) “What impresses me about Robin’s work is that within the narrow scope of her chosen subject she develops the full range of compositional possibilities. She’s able to express the quality of light and the colors of the seasonal landscape into her seemingly casual puddles of color.” —Carolyn Lord

Congratulations Robin! But I could see that all along, and have been wataching :)
I would add that your colors show far more vividly on your blog than on The Magics blog.
And those are some very well trained "puddles".
Brava!
I noticed it printed dark in the magazine as well. One of the editorial points they made was that the colors were trending more muted, so it may have been pushed a bit in the printing process. Then again, they didn't have access to the original. I am just thrilled to have been chosen!
Can't help but saying that Robin's paintings are better than the real hikes!
