It was a great honor and challenge to judge the FWS Online Exhibition. There were many outstanding paintings, and the resulting show is diverse, in subject, technique, expression, and materials. It all comes together to showcase, not just the significant talents of the artists in the Florida Watercolor Society, but also the tremendous and wide-ranging possibilities in watercolor painting today. I hope you will join me for a look at the show and a discussion about the accepted paintings and the award winners – lots of learning, excitement, and inspiration to be shared…
