“Water supports all our endeavors, from the simple task of making paint flow to sustaining life. It is the common denominator that all humanity shares.” - Sharon Crosbie

Fluid, fast, gestural, unforgiving, soft, absorbent, complex, creative, bright, beautiful, spontaneous – these are the many attributes of this complex and sophisticated medium. Come witness the broad array of styles in this national juried exhibition. The Rockies West National exhibition is brought to you by the Western Colorado Watercolor Society and showcases national and regional artists. The juror for this exhibition is watercolor artist Ken Call. Call received his Associates Degree in Illustration and Watercolor from the American Academy of Art in 1980. From 1993 to 1994 he studied painting in Paris, France. In Call's artist's statement he describes what inspires him to paint. “The one thing that comes to mind before anything else is the play of sunlight which defines and creates a mood.”
