The jurors for this show were Gary Hamel, a local artist and collector, and Robert Carsten, PSA, noted pastel artist and instructor at the SVAC. Both jurors noted the overall strong presentation of the work, and a variety of criteria informed their decisions. Primarily they considered expression of the show's theme "Engaging Cezanne", with Gary particularly looking for "the notion that some personal growth has come from the exploration of the theme." This included the use of Cezanne's subject matter and mannerisms and his painting technique, particularly the way he married form and atmosphere. They looked for strong composition, good drawing, and technical virtuosity in the medium of watercolor. The way the paintings related to each other to form a cohesive whole was also considered. Once again, it was a joyous learning experience for me to sit and listen to a spirited conversation about art.

Those who did not have work selected may pick up their pieces Tuesday, May 23 through Sunday, May 28. As last resort they may be picked up at the opening on June 2, but we would prefer you pick them up before that time since openings are hectic enough.

Thanks,

Sheryl

(Gallery hours: 10 Am to 5 PM)

Also from Sheryl:

Please remind everyone that there is an opportunity to paint in the gardens around the gas station and gallery on May 27 & 28 during Open Studio. Artists will be able to sell their original paintings and prints during this time. They will be responsible for collecting and paying sales tax on work sold that weekend. I have two artists who will be in the gardens on Sunday afternoon, and would like to know if more people plan to be here so that I can advertise the event.

Contact Sheryl at 802-296-7693 or STrai6098@aol.com.

The show will be up during that weekend, so it would be an excellent opportunity to promote both VWS and your own work. If you didn't get in the show or only got one work in, you could also pick up your work on the week-end and spend some time painting in the gardens there. It's really lovely, hopefully the rain will have gone (it's got to, doesn't it???), and Sheryl is offering a very special opportunity here.

Don't forget to come to the opening June 2, from 5-8 PM.
