PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome to our 95th International

Exhibition! Heartfelt congratulations to

all participants and award winners.

This year, with so many incredible artists

submitting, you can imagine how difficult it

was for our three jurors Judi Betts, David

Poxon and Soon Y. Warren to select only 71

paintings from more than 1000 entries. It is

never an easy task to turn away numerous

highly-skilled and talented artists simply for

lack of space, but at some point, there is no

alternative. We are grateful to our jurors for

their expertise in selection.

As for Awards, a special thanks goes to Valli

McDougle for securing more than $40,000

in cash, purchase and merchandise awards

including the new Katharine Cartwright

$3,000 Vanguard Award. Because we offer

so many awards for excellence, Peter Frank,

our awards juror, had his work cut out and we

applaud his great discernment in selecting

this year’s NWS winners.

In our Studio Gallery, next to the main

Exhibition, you will also see invited Belgian

artists from the Eau en Couleurs. These artists

represent the final leg of last year’s second

NWS/European exchange program. We thank

Catherine De Ryck, David Poxon and Penny

Hill for making the second of many planned

international reciprocal events possible.

Our 2015/2016 China Exchange, chaired by

former president Linda Doll, is now also well

underway. Please stay tuned!

This year’s NWS International Exhibition is

truly a remarkable 95th Anniversary milestone

with its success due in no small part to the

seamless cooperation between our entire

dedicated Board and the exhibition committee.

Each Board member did their prescribed job

so well there was little left for me to do other

than to watch with amazement and to assist

in extending our outreach even further. I am

honored to serve alongside all of you and look

forward to continued NWS growth.

The NWS was founded in 1920 as the

California Watercolor Society, changed

its name in 1967 to the California National

Watercolor Society, then in 1975, simply

became known as the National Watercolor

Society. Now, in 2015 as we extend our

participation in exchange exhibitions from

Europe to China, we have truly become an

international organization. But none of these

new achievements and opportunities would

be possible without all of our loyal associate

artist members, signature artist members and

sponsors. Thank you all. We are deeply grateful

for your continued participation and support.

Ken Goldman

JUROR of AWARDS

In my role as Awards Judge for the National

Watercolor Society’s 95th International

Exhibition, I found my usual juror job

description profoundly altered. Others had

culled through a wealth of submissions from

around the world, ultimately bringing the

superior seven percent to the fore. It befell

me to distinguish the best of the best – and

to do so with, shall we say, no small prejudice.

There were plenty of awards to hand out,

but they were of all different sizes, sources,

purposes, and descriptions. Each had to

be bestowed upon a different artwork for

overlapping, but not necessarily cohesive,

reasons. Some prizes came with caveats –

as, indeed, did some artworks. It was easy

enough to make my own general selection

out of the show’s selection in a pleasant

version of window-shopping, which is how I

began the award selection process. But then

parsing who got what – that’s where things

got interesting.

What did I seek to reward? I’d daresay the

same things the show’s initial judges did: a

coherent relationship between admirable

technique and provocative subject matter.

(And yes, even the non-objective works have

“subject matter,” as abstracted or inferred as

it may be.) Virtuosity was not honored for its

own sake, but for the sake of the service it

provided the image. Sentiment

was not applauded (or, for that

matter, disdained) because it

moved me, but because its

visualization stuck with me.

The water media are in many

ways the most magical of all

visual media, their limitations

promising little more than self-

effacing intimacy or secondary

objecthood and yet yielding universes as

broad and, yes, as intimate as oil painting or

sculpture or prints. These universes emerge

in the hands of those who know what they

are doing, why they are doing it, and how

they can best do it. The mystique of the

water media is no less persuasive than that

of more prominent disciplines; the audience

only comes later, all too incidentally, to its still

small voice. The biggest surprises come in

the subtlest packages.

I am grateful to the National Watercolor

Society for involving me so closely with such

gratifying artwork, and I’m pleased to share

the Society’s pride, and the pride of the

participants, in this vibrant selection.

JURY of SELECTION

As a team, we brought to the table our lives of studying and painting, traveling, exploring in

museums, and listening to music and all of nature’s sounds and colors. With our own emotions we

responded to each artist’s personal symbolic language. I was fascinated with the large array of

diverse methods and thoughts represented. I would have been pleased to see a larger exhibit in

the end. I am excited, of course, with our selections. The viewers may question our decisions, but

we each voted for the creative images and color chords that ignited our hearts.

Penny Hill and her committee worked hard to make our responsibilities systematic. Special

thanks to all the volunteers who worked so diligently for the NWS.

I am honored to have been selected to work with the other jurors. We freely discussed our

thoughts and wishes. I hope you will be surprised, entertained and enlightened as you view the

entries. I feel we chose a thought-provoking group of paintings that people will not only look at

but also look into.

- Judi Betts

It has been a real privilege and honour to be invited to participate in the 2015 NWS selection

jury. The volume of entries and standard of work has been as high as I expected. All paintings have

been scrutinised in detail and many discussed and debated at length by the Jury of Selection. It’s

not been easy, but it has been a pleasure. To pass ‘judgment’ on my fellow artist’s work is a strange

and public ordeal in a way, knowing that there will be many disappointed painters who did not

make the show this time round. For those who missed out, I offer some encouragement for the next

event. We have all felt the pain of not making it into the final show, it does hurt I know, but such is

the wondrous journey we share as watercolour painters. Please remember that we all take many

steps on a long unending road, and the road has many twists and turns.

Congratulations to this year’s selected painters. All entrants will enhance and enrich the

reputation of the NWS which now has a world-wide following. Please enjoy the show.

05It was exciting and challenging to participate as one of the 2015 NWS Jury of Selection. I congratulate

all of the artists whose paintings were selected. Also, I want to share my feelings with those who are

disappointed by not being selected. As you all know, not being selected this time doesn’t mean that your

painting is not good enough. After the experience of jurying a great volume of entries, I felt better and

more lighthearted about the paintings I didn’t get into shows in the past. If I could have had a second

turn to select paintings, I likely would have chosen different ones without thinking about it twice. The split

second of choosing a painting connects with my emotional and spiritual journey at that very moment.

Also, seeing the unique perspective of each artist, with an emphasis on the surprising aspects of

otherwise ordinary subject matter, is always invigorating and inspirational. I appreciate how and why one

paints rather than what one paints. My goal is to approach each painting with a fresh mind, without any

preconceived prejudice, to minimize the bias and subjectivity of human nature on the selection process.

I appreciate anyone who dares to put one’s heart on paper to share with others as I try to do with every

painting. It was an honor and privilege, as one of the jurors, to be part of this wonderful exhibition,

celebrating the versatile paintings in watercolor created by colleagues who share my passion.

ARTS & HUMANITY AWARD

This year our Board has unanimously voted

to confer our prestigious Arts and Humanity

Award on fine artist Joe Miller, founder of

Cheap Joe’s Art Supplies. But this award is not

being given solely because Joe is a generous

business man with an innovative art store. If

that were our criteria, we would have needed

to divide this award equally with all of our other

generous donors who run equally unique art

supply stores. This year’s acknowledgement

is meant to highlight Joe’s good spirit and

sharing character.

Here is a partial list of actions taken by

“Cheap Joe’s” charity which demonstrates

his outstanding contributions to society:

Joe’s charity sends monetary donations to

the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life

and The United Way.

In the wake of natural disasters, like

Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, fires, floods,

and tornados, Joe’s charity sends relief to his

customers in the forms of Care Cards that let

them know he would be happy to help replace

any supplies they may have lost.

Joe’s charity also donates art supplies to

Children’s Hospitals, like Duke Cancer Center

for Children, UNC Chapel Hill Cancer Center

for Children, St. Jude’s and the Make-A-Wish

Foundation.

Cheap Joe’s art supplies are given to

summer camps for children with cancer,

epilepsy, auto-immune diseases, diabetes

and autism as well as to orphanages and

foster homes.

And finally, Joe is very proud of his Brushes

for Vincent Program which gives art material

to thousands of children in crisis situations

such as cancer centers, burn centers and

to inner city children. The program is aptly

named after Vincent Van Gogh whose brother

Theo supported him throughout his entire life.

Joe Miller has been “Theo” to thousands of

children and adults.

For his generosity of heart and spirit, the

NWS Board is very proud to present the 2015

NWS Arts and Humanities Award to Joe Miller.

IN MEMORIAM

William E. Pajaud

William E. Pajaud, Jr. was born in New

Orleans, Louisiana on August 3, 1925. Growing

up African-American during the depression in

the segregated South was difficult at best.

At the age of seven he was hospitalized with a

bone disease which nearly took his life. “While

I was in the hospital, there was an older man

in the bed next to me. I can’t even remember

his name, but he was a cartoonist and got me

interested in drawing. Before he died he asked

me to never turn drawing loose.” That chance

encounter and introduction to art would change

his life forever. As his interest in drawing

developed he found he could escape into his

art. He painted his first watercolor at the age

of twelve. In 1942, following his high school

studies, he was awarded a full art scholarship to

Xavier University and earned a bachelor of fine

art degree. In 1952 he returned to academia

with a full scholarship to study at Chouinard

Art Institute in Los Angeles, California. He

graduated with an MA in advertising design.

In 1949 he began exhibiting. His work was

featured in major exhibitions at the Butler

Museum of American Art, Carnegie Institute,

Crocker Art Gallery, Los Angeles Museum of

Art, Springfield Museum of Art, and the De

Young Museum.

Bill received signature status in the California

Water Color Society (now NWS) in 1952 and his

work has been included in numerous Society

exhibitions and travel shows over the past six

decades. He joined the Board of Directors as

Second Vice President in 1973, was President in

1974, and Juror in 1983 (Annual Exhibition) and

1975 (Membership Exhibition and Jury Chairman

for the Annual Exhibition). He has also held

memberships in the Los Angeles Art Associa-

tion, the Society of Graphic Designers, and he

was a co-founder of the Tutor Art Group.

In 1957 Bill began working for Golden State

Mutual Insurance Co. (an African -American

owned company) as an art director and artist.

By the time of his retirement In 1987 he rose to

the position of vice president of public relations

and advertising. During his tenure with the

company, Pajaud built what was originally a

small collection of art into one of the largest

corporate-owned collections of African-

American art in the nation.

Among the many awards and accolades he

has received through the years are inclusion in

California Watercolors 1850-1970, Who’s Who in

American Art, the Paul Robeson Award, and the

Legend of Black Art Award in 1996.

In 1999 the California African American

Museum in Los Angeles, California opened a

six month major retrospective celebrating fifty

years of his creativity in drawing, pastel, oil,

printmaking, and most importantly watercolor.

Bill died in Los Angeles, California on

March 29, 2015.

“Both my ethnic and cultural backgrounds serve as root sources

of my work. The awareness and acceptance of humankind — universal,

following life’s awesome rhythms with dignity in pain, joy, poverty,

and often jubilation — cause me to paint.”

TRAVELING EXHIBITION 2016

THE NWS TRAVELING EXHIBITION

Since 1925, the National Watercolor Society

has chosen a select group of paintings to travel

the US as ambassadors of the NWS and the

fine artists within its membership. Reaching

fine art venues across the country the NWS

Traveling Exhibition exposes the NWS and its

members to thousands of additional patrons

and serves to inspire artists who might never

have the chance to see the actual works. Over

the years, the Traveling Exhibition has included

works by such American masters as Edward

Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, and contemporary

masters too numerous to name here.

Approximately 30 paintings from the

International Exhibition are juried into the

Traveling Exhibition and spend the next year

being displayed in venues representing

some of the finest galleries, art centers

and museums across the United States.

Recent venues have included:

West Valley Art Museum, Peoria, AZ

Fallbrook Arts Center, Fallbrook, CA

LeMars Arts Center, Le Mars, IA

The Next Picture Show, Dixon, IL

The Cultural Center of Cape Cod,

South Yarmouth, MA

Lansing Art Gallery, Lansing, MI

Bloomington Art Center, Bloomington, MN

Southern Arts Society Inc., Kings Mountain, NC

Grants Pass Museum of Art, Grants Pass, OR

Kerr Arts and Cultural Center, Kerrville, TX

Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Newport News, VA

Community Fine Arts Center, Rock Springs, WY

Art Center Manatee, Bradenton, FL

Tennessee Valley Museum of Art,

Tuscumbia, AL

Please contact us with your local venue

interested in hosting the NWS Traveling

Exhibition in the future. We will send you a

FAQ to answer any questions you might have

concerning costs and planning. We need your

support to spread the word about NWS and

the opportunity to expose the public to an

extraordinary exhibition. Thanks.

NATIONAL WATERCOLOR SOCIETY Past, Present, and Future

With an exciting vision and a new appreciation for an old art form, the California Water Color Society was founded in 1920. As the country grew, painters found inspiration in the expansive western lands and were, in their way, pioneers of a new spirit.

The name of the society has changed twice since that time: first in 1967, to California National Watercolor Society; then in 1975, when the members voted to become simply the National Watercolor Society. The first exhibition was held at the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, which later became the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The first twenty-five annual exhibitions were held there. From 1946 through the early 1960s, exhibitions were often at the Pasadena Art Museum but also in Santa Barbara, San Diego, and the San Francisco area. From the late 1960s through the 1970s, Laguna Beach Museum of Art was most often the host gallery, in addition to the Otis Art Institute and the Palm Springs Desert Museum. Throughout the 1980s until 2010, the annual shows were held at the Brea Civic Cultural Center, the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton and the Riverside Art Museum.

Throughout the 1950s, a biennial drawing and print show was also presented. Most years there was a show only for Signature Members. In 1956, the Exhibit of California and Canadian Waterco-lours was held in both countries. In 1960, Mexico City hosted La Sociedad de Acuarelistes de California. The past presidents were honored in 1976 and 1987 with shows at the Brand Library Art Center. To broaden the collections of watercolors accessible to the public, the Society donated twenty-five paintings spanning the early years (1925–1954) to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The selections from 1955 to 1980 were on loan to the Laguna Beach Museum of Art until 1989.

Although NWS is obviously an exhibiting society, it is also an educating society. The images of its annual exhibitions are available for purchase on digital media as well as full color catalogs. Its Traveling Exhibitions have visited collegiate and public galleries and museums throughout the United States and Canada. Special written materials are often prepared for these institutions. In conjunction with the annual exhibitions, lectures and orientation programs are made available to docents of the

host museums. As an additional service to the public, an Associates membership category was implemented. People who are interested in watercolor, or art in general, may become Associates and attend openings, shows, and Society events. They receive all the NWS publications and may submit work for the juried shows for the same fees as Signature Members. This membership provides an opportunity for involved patronage by those who wish to appreciate, encourage, and support the efforts of the Society.

The Society also exhibited watercolors from its permanent collection featuring award-winning works from the 1955 to 1985 Annual Exhibitions. This show was held in January 1993 at the County of Los Angeles Century Gallery in Sylmar, California.

In 1995, all available NWS archival material including slides of our shows, catalogs and records were sorted, classified and delivered on August 30, 1995 to the Smithsonian Institution Branch Office located in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. This material has now been accepted under a “Deed of Gift” and has become an official part of the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. When processed, this material will be accessible to everyone through the information highway.

In 1999, the National Watercolor Society purchased a building at 915 South Pacific Avenue, San Pedro, California, 90731. This has become the Society’s center for offices, gallery, workshops and a place to house our growing permanent collection. Since 2009, the NWS All-Member Exhibitions and the International Exhibitions have been held in this newly renovated gallery.

In recent years, NWS has continued to grow as a global organization with members throughout the world. In 2013/2014, NWS joined with the International Society of Experimental Artists (ISEA) and the Welsh Group of Wales for a small image exhibition in venues in Florida and California, and then on to Wales; 2014 saw an exchange with Eau en Coulours Biennale Internationale d’Aquarelle in Belgium, with the paintings traveling to the NWS Gallery in 2015. This year NWS is collaborating with the Shenzhen International Biennial for a small image exchange exhibition to be shown in Shenzhen, China, in late 2015, which then travels in 2016 to the NWS Gallery in San Pedro, CA.
