There has been some glitch between Blogger and Feedburner and, to the best of my knowledge, neither of my blogs reached my subscribers. I'm hoping this post will reach you and you'll have a chance to check out the new feature on Brush-Paper-Water. I'm showcasing two Malaysian artists this week -- Ismail Kadir and Phang Chew.

The Farmer Kept His Rigswatercolor, 22" x 30"
Ron Morrison
Highway to Heavenwatercolor, 22" x 28"
Diane Morgan
I'm setting off on a new adventure with this week's feature on the watercolor showcase. Instead of a single artist, I'll be presenting two artists whose work has some common thread. I'm planning to continue this as a series, but my goal this year is to go where the muse takes me, so flexibility will be the name of the game.
Ron Morrison and Diane Morgan are featured in "Car Culture" -- comparing the two artists' approaches to a common subject. Cruise on over to Brush-Paper-Water for the whole story.

This week at Brush-Paper-Water...
A New Daywatercolor, 16" x 24"
Verena Heroux
I received many more images than I could post from most artists. The painting shown here was one of my favorites, but it didn't fit the flow of Verena's feature so was set aside. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
For 2011, I'm planning to make some changes to the format I've followed for the past two years. At this point, I'm not entirely sure where I'm headed, but I want to give myself a bit more flexibility and maybe give you a few surprises. I hope you'll stick around for the fun!!

Mousie news...
watercolor, 12" x 12"
Chris Beck
I'm a bit behind in posting my own art doings, but Nosey Mouse has two exciting bits of news. First -- his starring role in A Shocking Discovery netted him a spot of the cover of Steve Worthington's book, The Mouse Project. You can read all about it and order copies of the book on Steve's blog. For anyone new to my blog, Steve invited 22 artists to create paintings featuring one of his bronze mice and then assembled the works into a book, proceeds of which will go to animal shelters. For the backstory on my painting, see my earlier post.
Second -- Nosey is also thrilled that A Shocking Discovery won an honorable mention in the California Statewide Watercolor Exhibition, which opened on December 11 at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA. The exhibit runs through February 27, 2011 and Nosey would be delighted if you stopped in to say hello.

Trafalgar Squarewatercolor, 7" x 5"
Bill Hook
Over the past 18 months, I've enjoyed seeing the direction Bill Hook's work has taken as he spends more and more time on plein air painting. He captures such expressive qualities of place -- even when painting small format pieces -- that his work creates a strong sense of personal presence in a viewer's mind. His palette is subtle, often featuring greys and muted tones, but there is a marvelous use of light in each piece and sparks of clear color serve to draw the eye through his compositions.
Please go to Brush-Paper-Water to see more of Bill's work and then link from there to his website.

Agavewatercolor, 19" x 14"
Deb Ward
Although we live more than two thousand miles apart and have never met, I count Deb Ward as a dear friend thanks to the bond we've established after meeting in the blogosphere. Over the past two years, I've enjoyed reading her often humorous blog entries and watching her develop paintings. Deb moves easily between transparent and opaque watermedia, trying new techniques fearlessly as she explores a wide range of subjects, and I've regularly ooh'd and ahh'd over her finished works.
Jump to Brush-Paper-Water to see more of Deb's work and then follow the link to her blog.

Queen of the Nightwatercolor, 20" x 30"
Sarah Yeoman
Sarah Yeoman's work spans a number of genres, all handled adeptly. Whether painting a stand of tulips or a misty lake in the Adirondacks, she sets a mood that pulls the viewer in and encourages prolonged contemplation of the subject at hand.
Please hop over to Brush-Paper-Water to see examples of her landscape work, and more, and link from there to her website.

It's My Kind of Townwatercolor, 32" x 26"
Debbie Cannatella
Once again I marvel at the wonders of the internet -- Debbie Cannatella is another artist whose work I know because of our online connection. An energetic and dynamic person, Debbie has given generously to other artists in every place she has lived. And she is always actively expanding her own artistic skills, both by taking workshops with other artists and by teaching students in her own studio.
Please jump over to Brush-Paper-Water to see more of her work and link to her blog from there.
