SEPTEMBER COLLECTORS' CORNER

APPRECIATION OF AN ARTIST'S STYLE

As a follow up to last month's "Collector's Corner", one might think that the national competitions are only interested in photographic, painstakingly realistic paintings. At one point I was beginning to wonder if I wanted to continue competing; however, I was somewhat mistaken. I have come to find out that there is an appreciation for freehand painting from some of the judges, exemplified by the number of awards I have received so far this year:

2017 Adirondacks National Exhibition of American Watercolors in Old Forge, NY: Painting: (3927) CAFES IN COBALT, The Karen and Gary Lee Award

Red River Watercolor Society 24th Annual National Watermedia Exhibition in Moorhead MN: Painting (3881) PLANE TREE PLAZA, Distinction Award

Transparent Watercolor Society of America 441st National Exhibition in Kenosha, Wisconsin: Painting: (3880) COBALT EVENING, The Watercolor Artist Magazine Award of Merit

Watercolor Art Society Houston 2017 International Exhibition in Houston TX : (3869) Kelp Ball #9, Merit Award

Note that I received a major award for "Kelp Ball" in, of all places, Houston! I highly doubt they know what a kelp ball is! I just try to paint the world as I see it!
