Fallbrook Art Association artist wins award

FALLBROOK – Bonnie Rinier has won third place in the San Diego Watercolor Society's highly competitive July member show, "Fruitful Directions."

"I love the textural effect – it almost looks like the first layer of fiberglass. I wish there was a strong red berry in front of the crow. The space feels like Andrew Wyeth's painting 'Christina's World.' Unfortunately, the way this painting is framed, the tail is cropped off which cuts the painting in half," acclaimed juror Chuck McPherson said of the work, titled "Said the Raven to the Crow."

Rinier is a full-time artist, specializing in original watercolor paintings. She teaches watercolor classes at The Gallery, at 127 N. Main Ave., Fallbrook. Her favorite subjects are animals big and small, she said, as every effort is made to capture the personality of each animal. Examples of her work can be found at her website at http://bonnie-rinier.fineartamerica.com.

The exhibit will continue at The San Diego Watercolor Society's art gallery through Saturday, July 27. The gallery is located in The Arts District Liberty Station at 2825 Dewey Road, Building 202, in San Diego and is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. The exhibit is free to the public.
