Deering Estates Exhibition

It is always exciting to participate on an exhibit taking place at the Deering Estates here in Miami. It is a a beautiful setting on the bay that represents a bit of Miami history. This year's exhibit is bittersweet. It is the last exhibition there by the GroveHouse Artists. 

There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, September 13th, 7-9 pm. The piece below will be part of this exhibit. It is a watercolor batik on rice paper. Hope you can make it to see it in person.

MWS Signature Members Exhibit 2015

Every watercolor society has requirements on how to become  a signature member. No matter the process, it usually indicates that you have been juried into various shows and/or have received some awards.

In the case of the Miami Watercolor Society, signature members are members who have been juried into three continuous years of exhibition (both Spring and Fall).  It is a prestige to be one and one of its rewards is our yearly exhibition. 

This year the exhibit will take place at:

Peace & Love in 2013

It is hard to believe that the year is coming to an end.  It has been a year of great accomplishments and happiness. It has also been a year of hardship and sorrow.  The recent shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary makes us realize that our lives can change in seconds and leave us with pain that lasts a lifetime.

Let us start the new year with peace in our hearts and love towards those around us.  Make it your goal to do random acts of kindness all year long and see what a better world it will be at the end of 2013.

Those of us in the art world are always creating things that have an effect on feelings. Our art makes you think, reflect, smile or maybe even cry. I appreciate and thank you for your comments, encouragements and compliments. They play a major role in my creative process.  

I leave you with  a link to the Florida Watercolor Society online exhibition. My piece below was selected to be part of this exhibition. Enjoy!
