The Hills Are Alive 143rd American Watercolor Society International Exhibition Acceptance

The Hills Are Alive 14 x 21 Watercolor on Arches

When I moved to California, I was completely surprised by the velvety greens of winter.
This ridge is about six miles from my house , near the entrance to Morgan Territory. It is a place I walk often, with horse farms, lamas and goats. This ridge and the vegetation have such interesting shapes and colors , it seemed alive to me on many levels.
I am thrilled to have it juried into the American Watercolor Society 143rd Exhibition. I was fortunate enough to exhibit in the 142nd as well, after years trying, it feels good to reach a lifetime goal. Because I have been accepted into two AWS Exhibtions, I can now apply for Signature Status.
