Waterloo Watercolor Group, Austin, TX


28th Anniversary Annual Fall 
Juried Exhibition   
October 8 --  30, 2006

     Juror's  Statement

This is a powerful show with lots of vibrant colors.  When I judge a show, I think of how the show will relate to future generations.  I think  about children coming to the show and viewing a painting.  This painting may resonate with a child and several years later is the inspiration of why that child wants to paint, and begins to paint.    I really like the variety of subject matter and use of mixed media in addition to the traditional watercolor paintings.

I want to pick a show that exhibits all the different styles of paintings from the realistic to the abstract to everything in between, as art is subjective.  All artists express themselves differently.  For example, a realistic painting slightly out of focus can become an abstract painting.  it is all how you view a particular painting.

I am impressed with the caliber of artists here in the Waterloo Watercolor Group.  I hope the show touches people emotionally that view it, as I think it will be due to the color and statement of the artist.
