Juror's Statement

    I'm delighted to judge this year's Waterloo Watercolor Exhibit.

    Technique in this group of paintings was a given.  I chose work that expressed a mood 
    or feeling, a personal vision, originality and good design quality.  The award winning 
    paintings had form and content and I chose them because I couldn't stop looking at 
    them.

    A quote from Clement Greenberg -- noted art critic -- "Realize that some expressions 
    are better than others.  Better, has some meaning, and you can feel in your gut what 
    quality is".

    However, all jurying is the subjective opinion of one person.  Keep painting, and I thank 
    each of you for entering the show.

    I have one comment about those who entered 2-3 paintings.  They sometimes did not  
    seem to have been painted by the same artist or the same hand.  Try to enter paintings
    of a similar style for the same show.  A juror looks for consistency.
