Watercolor opening

The Sangamon Watercolor Society was founded in 1986 to promote the art and appreciation of watercolor painting, and to present opportunities for continuing education and the exhibition of artwork, while also helping watercolor enthusiasts connect. The current watercolor painting exhibition includes the work of Carolyn Owen Sommer of Springfield and Michael Delaney of Decatur. Both are members and dedicated part-time painters who have families and jobs in central Illinois. Carolyn received a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree from Bradley University in pottery, but has worked in watercolor for the last seven years. Her piece, “Early Morning,” seen above is included in those on display for the next six weeks.
