SWS 50th Annual Membership Watercolor Show

Ellie

 

I found out today that this painting got in the SWS Show.
(Southwestern Watercolor Society -Dallas)
 I am a signature member, but is always exciting to get in a juried show.
 Jean Grastorf was the juror and I am so thrilled she let this one in!

This is done on 300 lb hot press watercolor paper and I enjoy working on it.
 I like the soft look you can get with it.

This past week end the Southwestern Watercolor Society Show was held at the PFamily Arts Center in Plano TX. Keri (my daughter) and I flew to Dallas, to be there for the reception.
It was such fun, and a great honor not only to get my signature status but to have one of my favorite artist friend present it to me!  I met Naomi Brotherton in 1999 in Graham TX.   I went to Graham to take her workshop, and we have been good friends since that time. She is a wonderful friend, and a wonderful artist.
She is still teaching! Every week! I hope when I am her age, I can too!
Kay Smith from Big Spring, another good friend was also in the show,  and was there to accept her award.. A good school friend, Diane and her husband, Everett also came to help us celebrate. It was so good to get to see them!
