WHS Exchange Show with Japan
 
The first part of the JWF/WHS Exchange has now been successfully completed with 30 JWF paintings on display in conjunction with this year’s Watercolor USA Exhibition. The JWF paintings were both unique and inspirational, and provided a wonderful exhibition to coincide with Watercolor USA 2009.

Three JWF delegation members visited Springfield: Mr. Atsuhiko Sakai, JWF Exchange Project Committee Coordinator, Ms Hiroko Tadakuma, Project Committee Member and Ms Yoko Shirai, Project Committee Member. An agenda for the delegation was provided by WHS Exchange Committee coordinators Kenji Nishikawa and Hiroko Shikashio in order that they have the opportunity to appreciate both the wide spectrum of styles and painting techniques in the Watercolor USA Show, as well as see a sampling of US culture in Springfield, Missouri. In addition, Judi Betts gave a demonstration of her painting techniques.
 
WHS also recognized Lee Weiss as a Lifetime Achievement Award winner, along with posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award winners Judy Richardson Gard, Rob Erdle, Electra Stamelos and Georg Shook. Family and friends of Lifetime Achievement Award winners came for the weekend to recognize these deserving artists. Moments from these events can be seen in photographs taken by Missie Dickens, WHS Historian.
