| February 22 - Rejected Again: Well - I did not get a painting into Western Fed this year. Congratulations to the 11 New Mexico artists who were selected. So, now I'm rolling two of my "rejects" over into Watercolor USA.  ... |
||||||
| February 21 - Still Painting: I finished Tanya today - and cropped it as suggested by several friends - then I got a good start on Zoey this morning.   ... |
||||||
| February 20 - Zoey: I'm starting a small painting (quarter sheet of Arches rough) it's of a young girl exploring the Albuquerque museum - Yes, I got permission. Zoey's grandmother is a docent at the Albuquerque Museum.  ... |
||||||
| February 19 - Student Artists: As a retired art teacher, it was a real joy and a special privilege to select the award winners in the watercolor division of the annual Metro Art Show. The Watercolor Society also gave three cash awards to High School artists in watercolor. Many thanks to the NMWS membership for encouraging these your artists to pursue their passion in a media that we love. I've attached images of the NMWS Award Winners. This years Metro Art Exhibit is on display now at the Berna Facio Professional Development Center - 3315 Louisiana NE. Awards will be presented on Friday, March 13, from 4:00 - 7:00 at the close of the exhibit.    ... |
||||||
| February 18 - NMWS Spring Exhibition: Here are my three entries into the NMWS Spring Exhibition - I've been selected for several out of state exhibitions - but, nothing is more important that getting into shows at home.  ... |
||||||
| MasterWorks of New Mexico: More great news - I also had two watercolors selected into MasterWorks of New Mexico. This is the most top show in our state - I'm glad to be part of it this year. I love the watercolors of mine selected by the jurors - "Indian Market Baby" and "Bird on a Wire".   ... |

The exhibition runs from April 5th through June 2nd. I'm especially glad because I think it is one of my best watercolors.  ... |
||||||
| February 14 - "Tanya": This is how for I got on "Tanya" this morning - I should be able to finish her tomorrow. I'll put a CD of Tanya & Dorise on so their music will put me in the correct mood to paint. "Tanya" plays sweet music along with Dorise on Royal Street in the French Quarter - in New Orleans.   ... |
||||||
|
||||||
| February 12 - Bit of Progress: I'm making a bit of progress on my newest watercolor "Tower Artist - Mexico". Being File Manager for MasterWorks of New Mexico has cut into my painting schedule or perhaps painting has caused me to make silly errors on the entries. Whatever the case - this morning I plan to correct all my goofs - so, I can get back to painting.   ... |

| What Do Jurors Look For: My watercolor "Street Vocal" will be on display at the Pence Gallery in Davis, California - starting Friday. Juror's Statement: Sandy Delehanty Some paintings just grab your attention from the moment you see them. You know the ones. They are the paintings that practically jump off the wall when you walk into an exhibit. You find yourself drawn to that particular painting and you walk right to it and study it closely. What is it about that painting that calls to you? When I judge a show, I am always hoping to find that one painting that draws me in like a magnet. I studied each painting carefully, looking for well-crafted compositions, good technique, a unique idea, or a story well told. Key elements that stood out in the paintings I chose included dramatic value contrasts, bodacious colors, or serene beautiful colors, powerful shapes, and dynamic compositions. Some paintings were unique either in subject matter, or style. I found landscapes that made me want to walk into them and feel that hot tropical sun, and I found portraits of people I wanted to know. The entries were almost all representational works; portraits and landscapes were the most popular subjects with this group of painters. My thanks go out to the artists who worked so hard to create the 364 paintings that I was privileged to view. It is not easy to put your babies out there in the world to be judged by some stranger, and I thank you all for having the courage to do just that.  ... |
||||||
| February 11 - Las Cruces: Two of my recent watercolors were accepted into the NMWS Southern Chapter Spring Exhibition in Las Cruces  ... |
||||||

||||||
| February 9 - Finished: Here are the steps in "Royal Street Bass" - I need to enter this one.  ... |
||||||
| February 8 - Slow Progress: I really like the way my new watercolor "Royal Street Bass" is coming along. I only have a few days to finish it up so I can enter the National Watercolor Society Members Exhibition in San Pedro.  ... |
||||||
| February 5 - New Watercolor Started: I'm starting another musical watercolor - from New Orleans of course "Royal Street Bass".   ... |
||||||
| February 2 - Mick Leo's Yupo Demo: Yesterday, Mick Leo did a fantastic demo for the watercolor society - we had a great turn out - I'm sure more artists will try Yupo now.  ... |
||||||
