Still not sure if you should participate?
Let us convince you otherwise
Abstract art, with its kaleidoscopic array of colors and shapes, challenges our perception of the world and transports us to the limitless potential of the creative mind. It moves about the canvas, playing with our eyes and ears and forcing us to reevaluate our assumptions. The entangled strokes of paint create an orchestra of feelings that reveals hidden meaning to the curious. Meaning is ambiguous and up for grabs in this kaleidoscopic collage of forms and lines. Each brushstroke conveys meaning and encourages the development of unique tales. Digital abstract art is a call to explore one's inner world; it is an artistic medium that reaches one's spirit and spurs original thought.

Brushstrokes is a non-themed juried exhibition. It is held annually and is open to all painters
residing in California. It showcases a diverse array of unique artistic expression across various
painting mediums, including acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolor, encaustic, digital, and collage.
Juror: The juror for this year’s exhibit is Frank Eber, an award-winning artist and Signature
member of the American Impressionist Society (AIS), American Watercolor Society (AWS),
the National Watercolor Society (NWS) and a juried Artist member of the prestigious
California Art Club. He conducts workshops and demonstrations locally and at the national
and international level, working in both oil and water media.
He writes, “Subject matter is really secondary to me. I am looking for interacting patterns
and shapes, and above all, for some meaning that lies beyond technical ability, beyond
brushwork. Website: http://www.frankeber.com/
