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/
