THANKS to Karen McCauley and Sandy McCoig for a great Gale Webb Workshop.
Gale really stretched our imaginations and made us think. The workshop was

Below is a statement from one member who took the Gale Webb
Workshop
"I thought the workshop was fun and so different
from any I had taken before. It was very
experimental with unique ways to create design
and pattern. The workshop was done primarily in
acrylic with some collage and use of fabrics. Gale
was an easy going teacher and the members who
attended were great to be with. I enjoyed it very
much!"

The Juror's Statement:
It was a privilege to be a juror for your SAWG show. I was impressed by the overall high
quality and variety of the work both in realism and abstraction. In judging the show I was
looking for originality and beautiful paint quality. I considered strong design to be of major
importance as I looked for pleasing division of space and dominance of color and value.
The award winners all met these criteria. Congratulations to all of you who were accepted
into the show." —Gale Webb
The San Antonio Watercolor Group wishes to thank John McClung and the Los Patios
staff for continued support in providing a beautiful backdrop and venue for the artwork of
its members.
Thanks also to Dana Butler with Coppini Academy for his photography of the artwork in
the catalog. He can be contacted to photograph artist's work at 210 588 9845.
