The Richeson 75: Small Works show has been posted a bit ahead of time. One of my favorite paintings was accepted into this show. Click on the Small Works link near the top of their homepage.

First challenge!!

In one of those lovely accidents of the universe, I met another watercolorist on Brushspace shortly after I'd signed up. We started emailing and it turned out that Pablo lived not-so-far-away and had a fabulous solo show that I went to see in late October. So when he proposed a painting challenge last month, I jumped in. We wanted to showcase watercolor -- a medium that too often gets short shrift in the art world -- and have some fun along the way. We settled on a small format with a theme of "something from the kitchen" for this first challenge:

"Sliced with Salt"
Chris Beck
watercolor & gouache, 6" x 6"


"This Little Piggy Went to Market"
Pablo Villicana Lara
watercolor, 10" x 8"
