ENTER A WFWS SHOW ? Wouldn’t you feel great by having your work recognized and displayed in a prominent National Watercolor Show?

How about giving your work a chance?! If you have a painting you are truly pleased with, that shows your emotional connection with the subject and/or the passion you feel, try entering it.
