The outside palette in winter may be limited to gray and white, but on Sunday the inside of the Racine Art Museum’s Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts was awash in color. Watercolors, that is.
On Dec. 7, the museum hosted the opening reception for the 2008 Watercolor Wisconsin competition, and attendees at the free event were treated to the sight of 106 watercolor paintings created by 93 artists throughout Wisconsin, including 18 painters in Racine. The watercolors spanned a spectrum of subjects: people, flowers, fields, cafes, mushrooms, a beach, a diner, Hong Kong lights, a New York street, and much more.
The Wustum Museum has sponsored the Watercolor Wisconsin juried competition for 42 years, and over the years the museum has gained a respected reputation for watercolor painting excellence.

This is always a beautiful show and full of wonderful visions. The trip to Racine is well worth it.
And some Kenosha artists are represented. Diane Levesque, Rebecca Venn, and Dennis Bayuzick. Congratulations Professor Bayuzick on your reward.
How could I get involved in something as fabulous as this. These paintings are wonderful.
