I'm so thrilled to be included with my "Raindrops on Roses" 

And, no surprise, my friend Jane Freeman is in it too!  The list of artists reads like a who's who of watercolors. A few names you might recognize...Thomas Schaller, John Salminen, Ted Nuttall, Judi Betts, Prafull Sawant, Soon Y. Warren.  Like Sonny Bono when he said,  "I can't believe I'm a Congressman."  I say, "I can't believe I'm in the book!"  What an honor.  Can't wait to get my copy.  "Raindrops on Roses" is available for $3900.  It is currently in the traveling exhibition of the Blossom: Art of the Flowers competition.

Splash 13: Alternative Approaches

This is my watercolor that got accepted into Splash 13..."Raindrops on Roses" 22" x 29." It's currently in the Blossom show at the Naples Museum in Florida. My feeling about what is "alternative" about this is that its closeup aspect verges on the abstract. Stephen Doherty even mentioned that to me at the Blossom reception. Splash sent out the complete list of accepted paintings this afternoon. Out of 115 people ten got two pieces accepted, two got three, and one got four....Thomas Schaller. He's quite the rising star...well, already risen I'd say. My dear friend Jane Freeman is also in the book with her wonderful piece "Monday's Wash."

Splash 13: Alternative Approaches

115 artists were selected to appear in Splash 13: Alternative Approaches This year’s winners were selected by Rachel Wolf and the team of judges from over 1600 beautiful watercolor entries. And.....drum roll please.....Diane Morgan and some of my friends (Jane Freeman and Tom Schaller) are on the list. The complete list is on the website at www.splashwatercolor.com
I will post the selected painting as soon as they notify me. I submitted two and don't know which one yet.
