JUROR: Lynn Ferris

JUROR STATEMENT: “When judging a painting, I look for three things: A strong design(composition), technical competency, and a compelling narrative. Of these three, acompelling narrative carries the most weight. It is also the most elusive. Narrative isnot a painting’s backstory, but rather what you feel when you look at it.”

AWARDS:

First: $350

Second: $250

Third: $200

8 Merit Awards: $35 each

Quick Tip for entering shows from Lynn Ferris:When students ask, “How do I decide which painting to enter?” here’s a suggestion I make: Lineall of your possibilities up in a room you seldom use. Don’t look at them for a couple of days. Gointo the room again when the light is somewhat muted (dusk is a good time). See which paintingyour eye goes to first. That’s the one I’d choose.

Bookworms: Book Discussion (one morning)
2025-05-03 09:30 - 11:30 | Texas
The art book club Bookworms is open to all members of WWG. Our next meeting will be held on Saturday, May 3, at 9:30 am.

We will be discussing Hayden Herrera’s biography Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo. As always, it is OK to read a different book about Frida—or, in this case, to read one about Diego Rivera since their lives are so intertwined. There is also an excellent documentary on Amazon Prime entitled Frida; it is highly recommend both for its substance and its artistry in presentation.If you are interested in attending Bookworms and are not already on our mailing list, send an email to bookworms@waterloowatercolor.org in order to be added to the list for notices. We move around to the homes of different members, so each meeting will be held at a different location. This information will be sent to you in an informational email. There are four meetings a year: February, April or early May, September, and early November. We try to avoid conflicts with holidays and summer vacations.

Bookworms: Book Discussion (one morning)
2025-09-27 09:30 - 11:30 | Texas
The art book club Bookworms is open to all members of WWG. Our next meeting will be held on Saturday, September 27, at 9:30 am.

We move around to the homes of different members, so each meeting will be held at a different location. This information will be sent to you in an informational email.

There are four meetings a year: February, April or early May, September, and early November. We try to avoid conflicts with holidays and summer vacations.

At our Saturday, September 27 meeting, we will discuss Paul Fisher’s 2022 biography: The Grand Affair: John Singer Sargent in His World. It is OK to read a different book about Sargent instead, but this one is full of fascinating information about his art and his very full life. Sargent is known for his society portraits, but he also painted a number of portraits of people who were less known as well as a variety of scenes from places such as Venice. Known as an American painter, he grew up in Europe and lived (Italy, Paris, London, etc.) and traveled extensively there for much of his life. He knew a number of the famous writers and artists of his era. In short, there is much to enjoy and discuss.

Come join us on September 27 for a lively discussion of a great artist.

Bookworms: Book Discussion (one morning)
2025-11-21 09:30 - 11:30 | Texas
The art book club Bookworms is open to all members of WWG. Our next meeting will be held on Friday, November 21, at 9:30 am.

If you are interested in attending Bookworms and are not already on our mailing list, send an email to bookworms@waterloowatercolor.org in order to be added to the list for notices. We move around to the homes of different members, so each meeting will be held at a different location. This information will be sent to you in an informational email.

There are four meetings a year: February, April or early May, September, and November. In addition to the November 21 meeting, Bookworms will meet on February 6 and May 1 in 2026. We are now meeting on Friday mornings. At our November 21 meeting, we will discuss Michelle Young’s 2025 work of nonfiction, The Art Spy. This work focuses on the effort of museums and artists in France (principally Paris) to protect their cultural heritage by moving and hiding paintings and sculptures (and artists) in the days leading up to, and the months during, the Nazi invasion and conquest of Paris during World War II. It focuses on the heroics of Rose Valland, an employee of the Jeu de Paume museum, who stayed in Paris while Nazis used her museum as a headquarters for looting; she quietly kept notes about where the art was being taken. Also important in this book is Paul Rosenberg, the main art dealer for Picasso and Matisse, who needed to protect his collection and, being Jewish, had additional reasons to hide and, eventually, to leave France.

Come join us on September 27 for a lively discussion of a great artist.
