This past Sunday we went to the Presidio in San Francisco to see the California Watercolor Association National Exhibition with friends. It is fun to see what varied work and techniques exist within watercolors.


The painting on the right is "Don't Splash Me!" which I won an award in last year's CWA show.

If you go, pick up a catalog for $13 which will also show the prices of the paintings.

The excitement for me is that this is my third acceptance and it means I have achieved Signature Membership in the CWA organization. That means I can use the CWA initials after my name.....alphabet soup, so to speak.

I have been trying to be inspired about painting San Diego. I love to paint cities, but I haven't come up with the right format...yupo paper, or canvas, or clayboard. Clayboard interests me, and I'm going to do a test to see if something painted in acrylic could be okay for outside. I really want to paint on materials that could go outside. By this time next week I hope to have at least 2 paintings done of San
Diego.
