Jurying the 2016 Baltimore Wa-tercolor Society Mid-Atlantic Exhibition was an honor as well as a challenging experience. Putting together a successful show of this caliber requires tremendous effort and I offer my sincere admiration to the board and volunteers who gave of their time and energy to make this show a success.

I spent several intense days reviewing 360 entries before finally settling on 95 works of art that showed great diversity of subject, style and approach. When I jury a show I look for paintings that express a unique point of view, one that uncovers the inner spirit of the artist as well as advanced technical skill, exciting composition and creative energy. I choose paintings that leave me with deep, long lasting impressions that communicate the artist’s joy in re-creating his subject.

Viewing the entries was

Juror’s Statement

The Mid-Atlantic Exhibition is one of the largest events sponsored by the Baltimore Watercolor Society each year. We are indebted to the artists, volunteers, donors and BlackRock Center for the Arts for its success. Kudos to you all.

As remarkable as the exhibition is, it is just another accomplishment of the members of BWS who for over 125 years have nurtured the art of watercolor and those who create it. Springing from the desire of five women in 1885 to have an opportunity to paint and exhibit

Word from the Mid-Atlantic Chair

together, we have grown to over 600 women and men who continue that tradition. We hope you will join us, both at the Mid-Atlantic Exhibition and at the other exhibitions throughout the year.

Sharon Green

pure pleasure for me but because of their exceptional quality the elimination process was quite difficult. Some artists had two equally outstanding entries but only one entry per artist could be chosen. For those who did not make the cut this year it is important to remember that evaluating art is a purely subjective endeavor. While it may be disappointing do not let it keep you from entering your work again in the future.

I congratulate the fine artists and award winners for their exceptional, outstanding work!
