Having just finished our December issue, which announces our 2008 Ones to Watch, we’re currently working on our February issue special report: the annual Society Winners Showcase. As the watercolor society exhibition catalogs roll in, I’m noticing a delightful trend: the reappearance of works by this year’s Ones to Watch! So who are these art stars? You’ll have to wait for the December issue, on sale Oct. 28.

Speaking of watercolor societies, three shows you might be interested in are currently on display:

National Watercolor Society 88th Annual Exhibition: through November 1 at the Riverside Art Museum (Riverside, California)
The Alaska Watercolor Society 34th Annual Juried Exhibition: through September 22 at the Stephan Fine Art Gallery (Anchorage, Alaska)
California Watercolor Association Member Fall Show: September 27 through December 30 at Gallery Concord (Concord, California)
