from my mother's garden, watercolour 20'x24"
I'm telling ya Alfred, I better see your work in the 89th Annual National Watercolor Society Show this next year!
BEAUTIFUL WORK AND I AGREE WITH OP
Worthy of high praise indeed!
Thanks everyone for the nice compliments, especially from my fellow artists. I will give the NWS a try, I enter a numbers of open jury show here in Canada however whenever I entered my floral watercolor painting it always been rejected. I start to think maybe there are many of artists paint flower the judges just sick of seeing another floral painting. So I just stopped enter those open show all together. Wonder if you agree with me.

If I were a judge, I'd never reject your watercolors - they're truly some of the most beautiful watercolor works I've ever seen. :)
I listened to an artist who has been the juror for some big shows and she paints mostly flowers. She said it is hard to get them in but they do get in and she has even won some good awards. Persistance Alfred, persistance!
Pick the ones with impact. The judges have to want to see it again.
I agree with OP, persistance-persistance-persistance if you stop----the judges have won and in your case they should not win!!!
