2014 NWS Events At-A-Glance MArk your cAlenDArs!

Eau en Couleurs Biennial Internationale d’Aquarelle is being held in Belgium from August 15 through September 7, 2014. This year’s Biennial celebrates the use of light in painting.

We are pleased to announce that several NWS members have been selected from the open competition. Congratulations to Kathleen Conover, Elaine Daily-Birnbaum, Laurin McCracken and Kris Preslan whose paintings will be included in the Biennial.

On display at the same time are the works of seventeen NWS members in the first of what is hoped to be many invitational exhibitions. Representing National Watercolor Society in this first International Invitational Exhibition are Linda Baker, Chris Beck, Linda Doll, Frank Eber, Jeanne Hyland, Paul Jackson, Andrew Kish III, Jonathan Knight, Sherry Matlack, Geoff McCormack, Dean Mitchell, Laura Mitchell, r. mike nichols, David Poxon, John Salminen, Thomas Schaller and Iain Stewart.

One year ago, at the end of the first Eau en Coulours biennial, we began exploring the idea of exhibiting the works of watercolorists from around the world at the NWS gallery as well as showcasing the works of NWS members in

other parts of the world. Catherine De Ryck, president of Eau de Couleurs, extended her invitation and NWS was proud to have our members showcase their work in this great venue. It has been a journey to organize and work out the details at the same time that Catherine was working on the open competition. I wish to thank Catherine De Ryck, president of Eau de Couleurs in Belgium. Merci merci merci. A big thank you also goes to the brilliant Geoff McCormack who is handling all the logistics of shipping, customs and endless headaches that accompany international shipping. Please send him aspirin along with your thank you cards. Many, many thanks, Geoff. And a special thanks to David Poxon, who helped to develop this great idea, our man for all international brain-storming sessions. Proof of how much work can be accomplished via SKYPE, Facebook, internet communication, and shockingly, even a telephone call or two. This is just the beginning of a wonderful partnership and exchange of ideas. C’est si bon! Chateau de Bourgogne:

NWS All Member Exhibition by Penny hill, Director MeMber exhibition

This spring brought lots of excitement with the 2014 All Member Exhibition. We had many new members join us with a plethora of exciting new techniques and inspirations. Every type of material was implemented to create stunning works that will bring a smile

to your face and, if I may introduce an itch to your brain, you’ll be asking yourself, “How did they come up with that ???” “THAT” is what makes NWS the innovative society that is fast approaching its 95th Anniversary.

Of the almost 500 entries we only had five mail-ins. We are very proud of our members who took the extra step of learning the online entry process through their membership account on our website. A big thank you goes to NWS President Linda Doll who stepped into the NWS attic and opened the windows to welcome us into the 21st century.

Californians are known for being laid back, so we just work around whatever nature tosses our way. A giant round of applause goes to our Juror and fellow Californian, John Asaro, for leaving home as the wildfires were raging to trek up to San Pedro and jury the show. John also braved the man-made obstacle of Saturday traffic to come up for the show’s opening and meet the artists. It’s not often these days that a juror has the time or inclination to attend the opening reception and it is so valuable to be able to converse with your juror. One award winner said that the time spent with John meant more to her than her prize money.

Our team for exhibitions can always use more artists stepping up to assume positions of FUN (as I call them). This year Son Do, one of our Signature Members, was on hand to learn the jurying process and help plan the hanging of the show. Son will be next year’s All Member Exhibition Chair. Our excellent hanging crew, Steve Abshear and Signature Member David Teter, have made hanging the show a fine art. Remember, the more of us working together, the lighter the load (and of course, the more FUN!).

The exhibition is on display until Sunday, August 17th, at which time John Salminen, one of the jurors for our Annual International Exhibition, will be holding a lecture at the NWS Gallery in San Pedro, California. You may attend in person or through streaming online attendance. Yes, we’ve had NWS lectures streamed as far as Paris and yes, they provide the wine. On August 7th, we will lead the First Thursday Art Walk, 6-8 p.m. at the NWS Gallery in San Pedro.

So please check our website for upcoming events and submit your entry the for the 2014 Annual International Exhibition soon. And join in the FUN.
