jodiMy painting won an award!
I got into the Northwest Watercolor Society member show (70 paintings accepted out of something like 400 entries) and the awards ceremony was tonight (online) and my painting won a small award! Juror’s commendation award #2 - I think it’s like an honorable mention - there are 15 awards total (top prize is $1000!) and this prize was number 14. Honestly I was thrilled to get into this particular show (it’s very competitive) so getting an award is like icing! The juror talked about each painting, and it was recorded, I’ll try to find a link so you can hear her comments, it was pretty funny, she was most impressed with the amount of detail I managed on the woman’s face that is only about 3/4” in size.
Scroll down to the online gallery, I’m in the 4th row (Nez Perce woman on a horse)

CHASThat is a H of a lot of detail in the face. The horse's head is great and the other details are very impressive.
Not accustomed to seeing so much detail in a watercolor.
Don't think I have ever seen that much detail in a watercolor.
Wow

jodithey’ve updated the website since last night - now you have to hit the catalog bar (just a little scroll down) and the painting will show up - also, looks like the judges commendation gets $75! (That’s on the video, but I didn’t notice it, I was too busy listening to her talk) The video is up too, the bar right under the catalog bar - she talks about each painting in the show, she does the awards winning painting at the very end, I’m right after the 1:06 mark.

rontunerGreat work!
I've never had the opportunity to be a "horsy" person, but now that we've been watching "Heartland" during the pandemic, I appreciate them so much more!
