| Martha Hudson Award |
In her more than thirty years in Talbot County, Martha Hudson’s
watercolor paintings of our coves, creeks, harbors, fields and
villages have earned her countless awards and honors, and a list
of prestigious purchasers that any artist would envy. She was a
founding member of the renowned “Traveling Brushes,” a group of
women artists who initially shared a painting weekend, and ended
up sharing their lives through art. Early in her career Martha was
the recipient of prize named for a much-admired mentor of hers,
and she has now generously offered to continue this tradition by
establishing an annual watercolor award through the St. Michaels
Art League.
The “Martha Hudson Award for Excellence in Watercolor” is
presented annually at the Arty Party, a holiday event to thank
members of the community for their support of the arts. The
competition to select the award recipient is open to all members of
the Art League, and the paintings are displayed at the St. Michaels
Library (rear gallery entrance) during the month of December. All
the paintings are available for sale.
Barbara Jablin, Martha’s fellow “Traveling Brush,” and
accomplished artist in her own right, was the judge for the first
competition in 2008, which was won by Tilghman Island artist,
Sandy Alanko.
The Art League is pleased and honored to be part of this wonderful
tradition. See Calendar for this year's date.
