Bob would have been 80 today. I cannot believe he’s gone 10 years. I do miss him dearly…..

My painting today was inspired by My granddaughter Melissa who posted this on Facebook today, She is an amazingly creative young lady who helps people with her therapy and flowers. This is her post.
Bit of a rocky start to my day….

But nothing some fresh BLOOMs and handing out jars in the community can’t resolve and dissolve.

Amazing what nature can do for the soul 🙌🏼🌻🌱

And look at all those jar donations 😀. Rooted to Rise is her domain name.
Her front porch is covered with bell jars and vases from all the people who know her and love her ………

ART FROM THE SOUL
Congratulations to the winners
Juror’s Statement:

My heartfelt congratulations to everyone who participated in the exhibition, and for making my job so difficult! Jurying an art exhibition can be so subjective, and while there are many criteria, I was careful to consider the usual suspects: aesthetics like composition and awareness of color theory, creativity, technical rigor, conceptual depth, cultural context, and emotional impact. I was delighted to see many artists clearly aware of art's history, and how contemporary works can be made in conversation with the past without being anachronistic. I always give bonus points when artists push what their materials can do (or what they think they can do). As a final criteria, I always love to see a bit of the ineffable - the artist's unique voice, perspective and personality shine through as it pulls me into their world.

MICHELLE A M MILLER JUROR
First Place SUE OAKES EFFUSIVE

The visual and emotional impact of this work belies its modest scale. It’s the right kind of strange – a world unto itself. It’s one of those works that feels much larger than its reality. Hints of Futurism, Expressionism, and Cubism collide and fracture into a trippy floral. It’s a bizarre, delicious sort of morsel and I kept returning for more. Bonus points for the creative use of collage.

Second Place MARILYN LIEDMAN THE SIESTA GIRLS
The Siesta GirlsJPG.jpeg
My choice here was a delightful surprise - I loved the traditional, excellent technique married to a very contemporary and relatable subject. Perhaps I projected my own life onto this one but I felt the weight of this scene rendered with such careful and sensitive empathy. These women look tired, don’t they? Aren’t we all just so exhausted?

Third Place TERRY PESSO TAPESTRY
Pesso_A Vibrant Tapestry

This standout still-life is so joyful, clever, and fun. I found myself getting lost in this scene, my eyes found delight and interest everywhere. Enticing marriage of invention, pattern, collage, and color. It literally glows.

Honorable Mention KAREN THORNTON DATE PALM AT DUSK
Karen Thornton Canary Island Date Palm at Dusk

This is of Florida. A river/canal flows in a swamp where ibises hunt for insects and a towering cycad offers a sliver of shade. The sun-drenched landscape stretches for miles and I am transported. Atmospheric, evocative, elegant.

Honorable Mention MAC JOHNSON GILLIAN BAY - ALLELUIA
Mac Johnson_Gilliam Bay - Alleluia!.

It’s easy to miss the tension in this sun-filled piece - the girl looks so carefree and happy and it’s a bright, clear, warm day. The warm, crystalline water beckons. Does she see it? Is she aware of the danger lurking beneath the surface? Utterly charming with exquisite color and composition.

Juror’s Choice KAREN H SALUP ENERGY
Salup_Cosmic Energy_36sq_$2000_MM.jpeg

Who can resist a tuft of grass? Or whatever this is – it makes me think of Joan and Albrecht and more and it is vibrating with life and color and energy and I could live with this.

SCAMS!!!!

It has come to my attention that some of you have gotten emails asking to pay our vendors.

PLEASE do not answer any emails that ask for money or help from me or Jimmy. These are scams. We will never send you an email asking for you to pay any bills or contact anything like Zelle, Venmo or Paypal to pay our bills or Palm Beach Watercolor Vendors.

Delete these emails. Do not respond to them or they will gain access to your accounts

If you are not sure it is a scam, call your banking institution. they will verify it..

It is very unfortunate that we live in a world of technology that allow people to break into our computers and try to gain access to our lives.
thank you for understanding,

Happy Painting
