Welcome to the Garden State Watercolor Society!
The Garden State Watercolor Society has just completed hanging ninety-two paintings at the D&R Greenway Land Trust. The exhibit will be up until August 8, 2014 and is open to the public Monday-Friday 10:AM to 4:PM.
This art exhibition, titled “Seasonal Splendors”, features the work of fifty of Garden State Watercolor Society’s Signature Members and includes a variety of mediums. Through the use of watercolor, pastel, acrylic and oils the paintings depict the beauty and value of the splendor of our seasons.
Free to the public, a visitor will find much variety in painting styles, technique and coloration, from traditional to contemporary. In the three galleries there is an opportunity to purchase original artwork for home and office while benefiting both the talented artists and supporting D&R Greenway Land Trust a non-for-profit organization.
New Jersey art judge/instructor Susanne Baron juried the show for thirteen awards and found the professional quality of this body of work outstanding and therefore difficult to judge for prizes. The awards are as follows:
