The Watercolor & Graphic Arts Society of Mobile is holding a juried exhibition at the Eastern Shore Art Center, through June 30, 2010. It is a very good show IMHO. Allan Butt's Best of Show is especially impressive.
Above is my entry "Clip Art", which was awarded the Bea Tucker Memorial Award. Even better, this was one of those occasions when the judge gave remarks about her choices. This is from mine:
"...has a very strong design pattern. The artist found an everyday simple object and gave it importance by using it in a dynamic design. Pen and Ink is a medium that uses value to its fullest extent. I found this drawing to be so simple and at the same time so complex that it kept my eyes wandering through the pattern in twists and turns. The placement of the darks in the drawing gives it a graceful and fluid movement both up close and at a distance. The pinnacle of the design was the one clamp that leaves the border and gives the piece freedom. This is a very nice piece of work indeed."
She gets me!
