Wild about Watercolor 2022
An open-to-all, combined online and in-the-gallery exhibit featuring the medium of watercolor.
September 23 - December 03
The exhibit will be another chance to enjoy variety and diversity using the wonderful medium of watercolor. Last year 20 artists submitted a total of 34 pieces. We plan to introduce an online voting system for favored selections in 6 categories. October 14 we plan to hold a party, close the voting, announce our winners, and award prizes.
The show is a sharing but it is also a contest and many pieces will be for sale. The prizes (gift certificates at Stella's Italian Kitchen and Market, Cedar Circle Farm, Lyme Home and Hardware, and at Matt Brown Fine Art) went to works that garnered the most votes in six categories:
-Overall favorite
-Most original
-Most flamboyant
-Most communicative
-Most atmospheric
-Most technically accomplished
