Winsor Newton Award at California Watercolor Association 49th National Exhibition for "Seven Layers of Spring"
Seven Layers of Spring 15 x 21
Thank you to Iain Stewart and Karen Frey for selecting and awarding one of my favorite paintings of Mount Diablo in all it's exuberant spring intensity.
This is my tenth time exhibiting in this National since 2004 when, with beginners luck I entered for the first time and was awarded the Jade Fon Award by Charles Reid. This gave me a major boost in commitment to painting time as validation I needed at the time. This is the fourth time I have gotten an Award in a CWA National.
Iain Stewart selected 74 paintings out of more than 500 entries and Karen Frey in turn selected 25 for Awards. I use mostly Winsor Newton watercolor paints so this Award is especially satisfying.
Here is the Catalog page where my painting appears. It is great to be placed with other fabulous award winning paintings, but I wish they had not omitted the word Award in the caption.
Reception January 12th 1 to 3 pm
The exhibit runs Jan 11 to Feb 16 2019
