California Watercolor Association - 41st National Exhibit

American Watercolor Society

This past week was the opening of the
American Watercolor Society's 143rd Exhibition
in New York City.

It was such an honor to have my work
included in the company of that of so many
renowned and accomplished artists.

Humbling too was knowing how arbitrary
and mercurial these jury processes can seem.

So I just did my best to enjoy myself at the reception;
meeting artists from around the world, looking at
some phenomenal watercolors. And uncomfortable as
these things can sometimes be, I did have a great
time.

And having my work sell on opening night definitely
helped a lot!
