MONTREAL: Canadian Society of Aquarelle Demo, May 2002




Wednesday evening, May 1 was the opening (vernisage) of the Salon of the Canadian Society of Aquarelle. The setting was the magnificent,historical Tudor Hall in downtown Montreal. There was a line of animated people waiting to enter the exhibition at 7:00pm. When we entered the Hall, it was already buzzing with the excitement of the evening. My painting, MAGNOLIA, sold the moment the door opened. Later during the evening, there was an announcement of the newly elected members, and awards were presented to the winning invited artists. The Ogilvy Prize which is presented to a work that touches "the heart strings"(coup de coeur) was then presented. All works in the exhibition are eligible for this award. My mouth fell open when my name was announced as the winner.
