“Revel in the Wisdom” wins an Honorable Mention from Falmouth Art in the Autumn Juried Exhibition, on view September 5-29, 2025

September 7, 2025September 7, 2025 | Sarah Connell Campbell

I am so pleased not just to be accepted into this lovely show but to have earned an Honorable Mention for this painting inspired by the autumn light on our pond. I really do draw wisdom from the evolution of the lily pads as they make the way through the season, from bright spring green to cool teal to green gold before they sink to sleep through the winter.

Juror L. Michelle Law explains that “artworks chosen for honorable mention are each outstanding examples of work in their respective mediums and show clear thought and creative vision in their creation.”

She says this small watercolor and gouache painting has “playful color and shapes that create a wonderful rhythm.”

This is a special show for a lot of reasons, particularly because the Falmouth Garden Club is creating floral arrangements that draw on the colors of the works that appear in the show. The arranges will be on view at the opening reception on Friday, September 12, from 5-7pm. I’m looking forward to taking photos and posting them next week.

An Honorable Mention for “Inception” from the Sandwich Arts Alliance

August 1, 2025October 25, 2025 | Sarah Connell Campbell

The June Kershaw Open Exhibit includes some extraordinary works in a variety of media, so I’m especially pleased that we earned an honorable mention in the watercolor category. As party of this juried show of 50 works selected from hundreds of entries, judge Hillary Osborn called this Inception “very innovative” – it does stray from traditional watercolor and so I’m particularly glad to be to show it and be recognized.

Thanks to the Sandwich Arts Alliance for the opportunity to submit and share this work. You can visit the show in person until September 2, 2025, at the old Sandwich Town Hall or view it online.

If you find yourself on Cape Cod in July, there’s lots to see in Falmouth, including a great show at Falmouth Art that includes this watercolor and ink piece that’s part of my post-pandemic evolution.

“Greener pastures” wins third prize from the Rhode Island Watercolor Society

May 30, 2025May 30, 2025 | Sarah Connell Campbell

Greener Pastures, watercolor + gouache, 2025

In addition to exhibiting art at their Pawtucket gallery, the Rhode Island Watercolor Society holds a number of online shows each year, and the current exhibit, In the City is where you can find this work.

Juror Bill Lane remarked:

“The color palette caught my attention, the drawing caught my intrigue, and the playfulness made me smile. Great depiction of a busy city scene with masterful shapes and details throughout the watercolor. What fun!!”

Bill is a master watercolorist – I’m a huge fan of his work and so pleased to be chosen from such a beautiful group of paintings in a variety of media.

“Greener Pastures” was inspired by my youth – a mashup of my love for the greens of Iowa summers, my yearning to escape to the big city, and my obsession with the Wizard of Oz.

I went through a phase, post Covid, where painting from photos or from life was challenging, and I relied on my memories and imagination to fuel my art. It was frustrating at first but I like the evolution that occurred.
