Waters of the Smokies III

Waters of the Smokies III


The month of January has slipped by without a post on this blog. I have been preoccupied with selecting entries for several watercolor competitions, working on another water scene, and taking care of the obligations of a new year. I am very happy to report that one of my entries sent to the California Watercolor Association was accepted for the 40th National Exhibition to be held March 18 to May 24, 2009, at the Presidio in San Francisco. The juror was John Salminen. He chose my painting, "Pre-teen Cool", introduced in a July, 2008, post.


Yesterday I learned that a second painting, "Fuji Reflection II", has been selected by juror Judy Morris to be in the 32nd International Exhibition of the Watercolor Art Society-Houston March 6-April 3, 2009. "Fuji Reflection II" may be seen on the December, 2008, post.


The painting completed in January is "Waters of the Smokies III". During 2008 I did three other water paintings. Two of them are currently in a juried show at the Art Market Gallery in Knoxville, TN. The new painting is a variation of one done previously. I am pleased with the result.
