From photorealistic to abstract paintings, the Southern Watercolor Society’s annual exhibition features a wide range of styles and techniques in one of the most challenging mediums: watercolor. 70 artists from 18 states were accepted into this year’s juried exhibition. Juror David R. Smith says he was “honored and humbled” to jury this year’s exhibition, “especially after looking at the quality of the paintings, which will provide viewers a great taste of what can be accomplished in the medium…. I appreciate the passion, skill, and time required, and I have a lot of respect for these artists.”Founded in 1975, the Southern Watercolor Society was formed to elevate the stature of watercolor painters and educate the public to the significance of watercolor painting as an important creative, permanent painting medium. They are dedicated to the highest aesthetic standards and are interested in furthering watercolor artists’ development through demonstrations, workshops, and exhibitions.

Stop by the gallery to meet the artist of our current solo exhibition, Julie Bowland! Bowland
lived and worked in the Tallahassee art community for twenty-five years before
moving to Valdosta, Georgia where she is a professor of art at Valdosta State
University (VSU) and directs the VSU Dedo Maranville Fine Arts Gallery.

In a Vivid Light will showcase new oil paintings of
Bowland’s vibrantly colorful, thickly-textured landscapes. Bowland paints
directly from the landscape, known in French as plein air or “open air” painting. Color is heightened and exaggerated;
loose, energetic brushstrokes create bold, expressionistic interpretations of
nature.

For the
first time in the Tallahassee area, Bowland will also be exhibiting her mixed
media works on paper, known as the Kayak
Dairies because she paints them from her kayak while paddling the regions
beautiful rivers, coastlines, marshes and lakes. Playful and spontaneous, the
Kayak Dairies are loose, colorful, impressions of well-known local waterways
like the Wacissa, the Suwannee, the Alapaha, the Withlacoochee, the Santa Fe,
the Ichetucknee, and the related springs. Georgia is represented by Banks Lake
and Reed Bingham Lake, as well as the Little River and the Withlacoochee River.  These watercolors and mixed media depictions
of nature are light and airy, in contrast to the thickly textured oil
paintings. Together they show a rare interpretation of nature in a vivid light.

Free Spirit 

Show Duration: June 4th – July 11, 2021, Online Show in “Viewing Room” 

The elusive and hypnotic reflection of glittering light on water’s surface is captured in the brilliant paintings of our newest online showing, Free Spirit by Austin Palmer-Smith. He brings forth the meditative state and tranquility one might feel while looking out over a vast seascape. Working from a deep place of knowing and trust, Austin relies on mostly intuition to create these works of art. 

While humans venture to Mars, most of the ocean is still unexplored. A giant mystery lingering on our home planet. These water paintings are expressions of hidden worlds within us all. Depths we really can’t comprehend and can only imagine, accept and appreciate. 

Austin Palmer-Smith was born in Paris where his mother was a model and father a fashion photographer. After studying painting under Lawrence Gipe at the University of California Santa Barbara he returned to New York to paint murals for the A List interior designers and their clients (Oprah Winfrey, Harrison Ford, Kim Cattrell to name drop a few) and produce a beautiful body of work. The artist felt at home painting murals. He says, give him “an excuse to paint an enormous painting and [he] will be happy.”

Inspiration is a painting in the show that really represents the body of work well. The highly contrasted colors and disorderly pattern of waves evoke a poetic sensation. There’s humility in knowing we are all merely a drop in the ocean, a fleeting wave in time and space. 

Palmer-Smith thanks Manhattan for most of his artistic inspiration. For a while, he practically lived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with his sketchbook, absorbing and drawing from the great works throughout the ages. Vincent Van Gogh and John Singer Sargent are a couple of the artist’s heroes and Palmer-Smith adopted their emphasis on the importance of drawing and sketching from life. If you ever were to spot Austin Palmer-Smith in New York City, there’s a good chance he would be sketching, “whether waiting for the bus, on the train or on the street, observing the seemingly limitless flow of forms and humanity,” in the words of the artist himself. 

Free Spirit will be Austin Palmer-Smith’s first show with Venvi Art Gallery. It will be available from June 4th to July 11th 2021 and the public can purchase his artwork directly from Venvi’s website by visiting the online viewing room.

Located at the South’s No. 1-ranked resort destination, the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic at Sandestin coincides with the peak of the Gulf Coast’s blue marlin season. Last year, Mollie, a Destin-based G&S custom sport fisher, took the top prize with a 660.4-pound marlin and over $500,000 in prize earnings. Visit FishECBC.com for registration and tournament details.

About the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic

Taking place in one of the most productive fisheries in the United States, timed to coincide with the peak of the Gulf Coast’s blue marlin season and located at the South’s number-one ranked resort destination, the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic at Sandestin® (ECBC) has set the precedent for world-class sportfishing tournaments.

This annual event offers something for everyone. Most importantly, for the angling teams, there are the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, red-hot billfish action, and cool green cash. While onshore, both tournament participants and their families can enjoy the wide variety of recreational activities offered at the Sandestin® Golf and Beach Resort and The Village of Baytowne Wharf. The spectacular night time weigh-ins, held at the Baytowne Marina at Sandestin®, are free and open to the public.

Named as one of the top ten big-money tournaments in the world by Marlin magazine, the ECBC’s cash awards surpass $2 million – and with over 27 optional entry levels, there are plenty of ways to win a piece of the pie.

The ECBC is a “modified-release” tournament and led the Gulf Coast tournament circuit in setting a high minimum length for blue marlin, which are the only billfish that may be weighed. Release points are awarded for blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish and spearfish. The three heaviest weighed blue marlin, dolphin, tuna and wahoo are eligible for cash awards, as are the top three teams entered in the Release Division, and the top three Crews entered in the Crew Division. Awards are presented to the top overall, release, lady and junior anglers, and the top overall release team has its name engraved on the Magnificent Blue Perpetual Trophy, donated by Galati Yacht Sales and Viking Yachts, sculpted by Chris Barela and on permanent display at the Marina Bar & Grill.
