The San Diego Watercolor Society was selected by San Diego Regional Airport Authority to be a part of the airport's rotating cultural exhibits program. The SDWS exhibit, in Terminal 2, lower level, is on display through January 12, 2009. The 15 original plein air paintings, all by SDWS members, are gorgeous interpretations of San Diego locations from Coronado to Little Italy to Carlsbad and are meant to educate viewers about art while reflecting the rich cultural diversity of San Diego. The display also includes a typical watercolor painter's on-location set-up, including paints, easel, sketchbook, and sun hat, and painting-in-progress, set in a clever photographic diorama of the NTC Promenade. The painting exhibition is on display at the San Diego airport in the lower level of Terminal Two, just east of the baggage terminal, and is free to the public.
Special thanks to volunteers Mike Shirk, exhibit designer and Dwight Little display engineer and Rise Parberry, art coordinator and Carol Thomason, Gary Parberry and Jane LaFazio for help with the physical installation.
