This book is not only for "painters" but for all types of creative
individuals who want to experience and play with watercolor,
whether their background is mixed-media, textile art, journaling,
or paper craft. Unlike the typical watercolor text books, this
unique, beautiful volume is a field book of inspiration, creative
ideas, how to's, and projects, all from an artist's perspective.
Each creative exercise features a technique, shows stepby-step
photographs, and includes a clever idea for a gift or project that
can be made from the painted samples.
Collaboration The Mind's Eye is a collaboration between the
artist's emotional response to the poems and the immediacy of the
poet's reaction to nature and personal encounters. The Poet Gail
Gowers Cotton is a member of the Poetry Society and the British
Haiku Society. Her poems have appeared in the Societies' journals
as well as in other specialist magazines. She "scatters" her work
by leaving poems on buses, in cafes and tucked into library books.
The Mind's Eye is her second book. Her inspiration comes from
nature and personal encounters including memories of Ireland,
Africa, North Wales and visits to Sydenham Hill Woods, Dulwich
Picture Gallery and the Horniman Museum in South London, where she
now lives. The Artist Pat Keay graduated as a painter at the
Edinburgh College of Art in 1971. She has worked as an artist and
designer in Scotland, Kenya and London and now lives in Worthing.
Read more on www.patkeay.com. The illustrations come from Pat's
spontaneous reaction to the essence, rather than the detail, of a
particular Haiku.

series. Splash 17 will be loaded with more than 125 paintings by

will show readers something about each artist's processes
pertaining to the theme of texture. Entry fee of $30 for the first

we expect to collect about $40,000 in fees. Call for entries will
