VWS news update

The image for next year's SVAC post card has been chosen. Here's the message from Rob O'Brien:

Nancy E. Winters innovative watercolor,"Yard Sail", was chosen by the juror to represent VWS for the Southern Vt. Arts Center's Festival of the Arts Catalogue for 2007-' 08.
Congratulations to Nancy and thanks to everyone who submitted an image. There were some good submissions. Needless to say, the juror had his work cut out for him.

Juror's Statement:

"Yard Sail" is filled with wit and whimsy. At the same time, it is a
serious and successful undertaking of a well constructed and complex
design. The painting readily displays competence in the handling of the
medium. I was captivated by the way the color effect is unified in a
serene-like manner despite the vitality of the color accents and the
painting's lively interaction of forms. As in every other aspect in
this painting, the reflections of the sails reflect the artist's solid
knowledge of painting. I congratulate the artist in being selected to
visually represent the Vermont Watercolor Society in the Southern
Vermont Arts Center's 2007 catalogue.

All other CD's will be mailed back soon.

Rob

Sounds like a fine painting-congratulations, Nancy !

Pick-up for paintings at SVAC is Tuesday, Dec. 5 from 12 PM-4 PM. We will try to let you know if anything has sold to save you a trip. Please be sure to retrieve you painting at this time or arrange for someone to pick it up for you.

We would like some feedback from any of you who were at the luncheon/annual meeting. We've had some complaints about the food-and some good comments, and I would like to be able to give the Inn some feedback, positive or negative.
