All in all, the show was very nice. There was a range of quality from beginning to end, but everyone appeared to enjoy the medium and I hope you all continue to enjoy watercolor because it is a beautiful and wonderful medium.
First Place
Geoffrey Allen, Nine to Go
This is a wonderful composition, with strong contrasts of shapes and values. What a good sense of sunlight all over. The brushstrokes are strong, sure, and there’s no hesitation in them. The medium is very well handled – great control of it.
Nine to Go by Geoffrey Allen
Second Place
Theresa Kubert, Above and Beyond
Here is a human story that one relates to – a grandfather appears with his grandson on his shoulders, and you can almost feel the pride and the joy in the man’s face. There’s a wonderful relationship of drawing between the man and the child. You sense the wonderful proportion and the age difference. Very well done. Technically well handled.
Above and Beyond by Theresa Kubert
Third Place
Cristine Weatherby, 17 High Tide
What a wonderful feeling of the ocean’s sweep. Technically, it’s well done – the person knows her medium and has good control over it. The colors are clean and you feel the ocean movement. Very well done.

Honorable Mentions
Edward Abrams, Vern and Thelma
What a serene, calm and peaceful feeling you get by looking at this picture. All the items are well organized, well put together. Good control of the medium. The colors are clean. They’re related; there’s no disharmony. Very nicely done.
Vern and Thelma by Edward Abrams
Penny Fedorchak, Snowbound
This is truly a little gem – clean, bold, and wonderful. There’s a minimum of shapes and beautiful shapes, done with a minimum of brush strokes. Beautifully handled and the colors harmonize so beautifully.
Snowbound, by Penny Fedorchak
Ingrid Lefevre, Rey Cuban Singer Musician
It’s as though this man is tipping his hat to you and saying, “good morning.” He has a wonderful smile, and that’s a hard thing to paint and draw. The sunshine is beautifully portrayed in the morning hours. Clean colors, well handled – a little jewel, really.
