"A series is a collection of paintings that when viewed leaves no doubt the same artist created them all.
The theme running through the work is stated and restated in different yet interconnected ways and the viewer
can look at the collection and understand more easily what the artist is trying to convey."

Cathy Joerger ~ Honorable Mention
Judges Comments: Honorable Mention - Kathy Joerger Your soft muted colors make your
work stand out. I also like the spattering you added to a few of the images.
Cathy's Comments: Oh how fun!!!! I know I paint in a completely different style than you described in the "step by step",
so I am really happy to be selected. Thank you for including the judge's comments. I learned so much on several levels
by doing all these little paintings. I love the process of working on Yupo and in confining myself to this miniature size.
I just went with how I see poppies . . . . and had a really great time!!

Closing Thoughts From our Judge, Diane Emerson
What a lovely group of paintings. I love poppies and look forward to every May when they arrive on this earth.
Their crepe paper petals bring joy and happiness. Great job everyone!!

"After the commitment to begin a series is made, it begins to take on a life of its own. With each additional painting in a series, the original thought grows into something more refined and bigger than a singular painting could ever be. Every addition allows the artist’s voice to get louder and clearer, demonstrating that they are on a path,know what they’re doing, where they’re going, and what they have to do to get there."
