The other photo shows a variety of work done by the artists at Saluda Shoals
"Through the Eyes of Art" on Oct. 7th 2007. The event was such a success; the foundation may elect to make this an annual event. The brightly colored batik was done by Alicia Leeke. The watercolor below that was done by JJ Casey. I know one of the paintings was done by Roy Paschal. Take note Roy won in SC State Fair and in SCWM Society. (And) I thought he was an oil painter....way to go Roy.

I am not sure which artists did the other paintings. Please let me know so we can add your name to this entry. All paintings are for sale, just click the artists name to find out contact info

or email me for more details. Many Thanks to Jean Ehler for the great photos.

yours truly;

Jean Bourque

SCWS Message from my "e" box

SCWS MEMBERS,

Entries are starting to come in for the 30th Annual Exhibition. Just a reminder… please check that you have the correct postage. A few have arrived with postage due. Postal rates went up a few weeks ago.

RE: Saving your image to disk. Some of your painting sizes will not be standard (i.e a long and skinny vertical piece) so you will not be able to make it a 4 x 6 image size. We are more concerned with the image being saved so it fits to the computer screen without having to zoom in and out and reaching the 1024 x 786 pixels or a 300 dpi.

Please remember the July 17 (Postmark) deadline. Hope you are busy painting and I look forward to receiving your entries.

AND…. go ahead and book your hotel room now. (Holiday Inn Express – 864-699-7777 - $75/night – Sept 28 & 29. Inform reservations that you are with SCWS for the group rate) Whether you are selected or not, please plan to attend the 30th Annual Exhibition & Opening Weekend at the new Spartanburg Art Museum. We have plans for a wonderful lunch at the Piedmont Club, great door prizes, an extra exhibit at Carolina Gallery and an opening reception at the new museum.

SC Watermedia Show Competition Announcement

TO: SC Watermedia Society Members

IMPORTANT: 2007 Exhibition Info
Correction: Holiday Inn Express – phone number is 864-699-7777 (not 803 area code)

Entries: Deadline: Postmark no later than July 17, 2007.
One JPEG image on CD. Write your full name on the disk and also name your JPEG file (artist name not painting name.) On the entry form, note image size (unframed.)

Mail to: Kim Richards, 7 Oxford Dr., Cartersville, GA 30120.
You do not need to over wrap and package your disk. A simple padded or cardboard disk envelope works just fine. Last year I had large boxes with bubble wrap, which was not necessary. Remember to complete all the forms requested and include them with your disk.

Framing: From the time juried results are mailed and works are to be delivered to the Spartanburg Art Museum, selected artists have about a month to get their painting framed, using ¾” – 1 ½” width (preferable) or maximum 2” width flat-faced museum style wood frame in natural (light or blonde) color. Mats, if used, must be white, off-white or pale grey.

Details and some suggested locations to purchase required frames will be in your acceptance letter. Remember, Plexiglas/acrylic is required on all paper or paper like surfaces. You may enter a piece on canvas and choose to not cover it with plexi. If you submit a canvas piece without plexi, the size (framed) may not exceed 38” x 43”. Otherwise, maximum size (framed) is 48” x 48” in either direction.

Why do we limit the size of pieces not under plexi? SCWS coordinates a very popular and valuable Traveling Exhibition. Paintings must be protected during the tour so we will have to produce special padded boxes to fit each painting that is not covered in plexi. We needed to consider the cost of these boxes and also the ability to have them fit into mini vans, which are used to transport the Traveling Exhibition.

Thanks
