The AWS Traveling Exhibit has reached California! I'd almost forgotten about it. My painting ''The Hills Are Alive'' is in the exhibit. I hope to get to the reception this Thursday.

THE FINEST OF WATERCOLORS - January 7-30, 2011

The Sacramento Fine Arts Center will proudly host the American Watercolor Society International Traveling Exhibition, consisting of 40 paintings executed by artists from all corners of the United States, Canada and Singapore.

This is a beautiful painting, Robin. The colors are so rich and vibrant. My friend and I saw it today at the AWS show at the Sacramento Fine Arts center. It was one of our favorites!

We recognized it right away as a California foothill landscape before we even saw that you were from California.

bricarwaller, Skizo thank you for your comments. PaintDog, I went to the reception and meant to go back but didn't make it, thank you for your comment. I LOVE the hills of California, they are never the same !

This painting is gorgeous. Love the way it drifts from the more muted (uphill) to the richer tones in the foreground. I live in Central California and I think you've nailed it. Golders

Thank you Golders, it is fun to think the painting is now in Texas before traveling to Maryland and finally back to me in May.
