It has been a great joy of mine to be a part of this group of talented artists and the friendships formed over all of the years! When presented with the 31 submitted works of such high-quality art this year's show of the local members was outstanding. So many of these pieces made it feel like our International Aqueous Exhibit which is juried into the show. I made the statement that there were at least 10 top choices for the top award. I personally donated to increase the merit award recipient's because they were just as wonderful as the other three of 1st ,2nd and 3rd. All of the works selected for this exhibition have three commonalities; an understanding and mastery of watercolor and water-based media, an accomplished sense of color and composition, and finally, an artistic eye that moved the artist’s work from simply rendering a scene or image to the creation of a work of art imbued with the artist’s own imaginative “touch.” Though I believe all three of these criteria art important, it was the third – the artist eye – that was the grounding force behind my selections. | And the winners are: First place: CHANNEL No5 by Ron Thurston Second place: Sky Light by Mary Jane Hadley Third place: Streetcar by Thomas Smith Awards Of Merit: Le Marais by Debra Valentino A ten minute wait by James Warmbrodt
