Lakeside artist Lorri Lynch earned First Place in the highly competitive March 2025 San Diego Watercolor Society Member’s exhibition “Nature’s Alchemy” at Liberty Station. Lynch’s painting titled “Driftwood Winter” was selected by prominent San Diego artist Kathleen Scoggin for this honor, out of over 270 entries.
Scoggin said of the painting, “This is an absolutely beautiful painting. It reminded me of the theme, as the bit of gold moving throughout the painting fits with the alchemy theme of the show. The division of space is lovely, the darks and lights are appropriately developed. It gives a strong sense of place. You feel the cold, the warmth of being inside the building that is nestled down in the trees. The beautiful oblique shapes of the logs in the foreground, directing the eye back to the house, and the warm glow coming from the house make it a lovely painting.”
The SDWS Gallery Exhibit will run through Saturday March 29, at the SDWS gallery at 2528 Dewey Road in Liberty Station. Paintings can be viewed and purchased from the gallery as well as on the SDWS website at https://sdws.org/galleryart.php?cat=7068
