I hope you can stop by the Riverside Hotel in Boise between October 4 and November 3, to take a look at my watercolor painting, and enjoy the 66 other creative, interesting and diverse works of art in Opus 2024. 
 
 
Joyce Green -A very special THANK YOU to all the wonderful friends and artists who attended the awards presentation at Meridian City Hall on Saturday, September 21st!  I was so honored to receive the Tammy de Weerd award for Excellence in the Arts, and even more honored to be so well represented by my IWS group!  Joyce Green

(My exploratory works)  The address is 1088 West Chateau Avenue in Meridian.  The easiest access is east off Linder on Chateau despite what GPS says.  I am one of the farthest out studios, even though I am in  old Meridian, so I will welcome all the visitors I can and you can ask all the questions you want!

IWS Member – Dave Earnest

By Region - Southwest
It is with great sadness that I share the sudden loss of Dave Earnest this week.  Dave’s talent’s were numerous.  He was an award-winning watercolor artist, a sound engineer, and I also know him because of his musical gifts.  He was a musician at the Lutheran Church I attend.  He played bass and I talked with him as recently as a week ago.  He told me he was not feeling well, but of course, showed up to play anyway.  If you had gotten to know Dave, I’m sure his family would appreciate a card.
Best regards,
Carol HasBrouck Browning
