"My George My Gauguin" 

PRIZE-WORTHY: Carol Ann Sherman's "My George, My Gauguin" was the winner of the Waller/Rhodes Award.

From the Florida Watercolor Society 35th Annual Exhibition -- Dancing with Paint AWARD.  It took place at the ART CENTER SARASOTA

Below is a Cover Story snippet following the event that appeared in a publication titled, Choose Me: Florida Watercolor Society written by Megan Voellen.

A tableau by Carol Ann Sherman, titled "My George, My Gauguin," finds unusual beauty in a pair of socks. Injecting a certain irreverence into the domestic milieu, Sherman depicts a man lounging in a recliner with a dog, socked feet jutting out toward the viewer, covered in beautifully-textured deep blue stripes. In the background of the scene, a painting by French artist Paul Gauguin hangs on the wall; Sherman's bright palette and oversized signature echo the post-impressionist's iconic style. The playful homage wins an award from Stroud.
