JAZZY NIGHT WINS AWARD of EXCELLENCE IN PFAA EXHIBITION

I am so Jazzed!! If I had read my newsletter before going, I would have known -- but let me tell you, it was a wonderful surprise to walk in for the reception to discover my painting right in the first row on the isle to my left -- and it had an extra tag on it!! (An extra tag is one that is not your name, title of the painting, medium & price - it usually says this is a prize!) This one said Award of Excellence. Hurray!! Many visitors ask me about the multitude of textures visible - they are intriguing!

In the show there we Best of Show, 3 Award of Excellence, 3 Awards of Merit, 2 Merchant Awards and 5 Honorable mentions!! It is a great show, well worth the stop to view!!

Contemporary Watercolorists of Arizona is a group of forty artists that was formed in 1969. These working artists are solidly based in the fundamentals of painting with watermedia. At monthly meetings, two members present a written motivation to the group suggesting various ideas, restrictions, or stimulating techniques for the next meeting. These are meant to stimulate free-thinking, play and experimentation to achieve a new view within their own work and style. Paintings are critiqued the following month as a way to encourage and nurture the artists.
