This painting has 12 FAA Features - all obtained since July 2020- mid September 2020
It has been accepted into the NorthStar Watercolor Society National Juried Watermedia Show 2020.
I have to deliver the painting in about 2 weeks to the juried show site about 100 miles from our home in Central MN. Ice fishing is a quiet sport in wintertime and one must use precautions to stay warm.

Kathy Braud and husband attended the Lakeville Center for the Arts for the reception of the NorthStar Watermedia Society 5th National Exhibition, Oct 27, 2019. Her full size floral watercolor work, Bouquet in Light and Dark, was one of 60 pieces chosen by the juror for display. This show is on display thru November 14, 2019. Below is a photo of me and my floral painting!
Juror Patrick Pryor - These are my reactions – both emotional and technical.
–Does the work show a dedication to the practice of painting?
–Is the work’s subject matter compelling?
–Does the work’s composition further compel the subject matter and showcase the artist’s talent?

The 10th year Anniversary of the Minnesota Legacy Amendment and the impact on arts in our state was also celebrated.
I was honored to be a recipient of FWAC’s Outstanding Community Arts Leader for Morrison County, MN. It was humbling when FWAC Executive Director, Mark Turner, said the following, “Kathy Braud, is a premiere example of an artist who is always striving to learn new things and to challenge herself in her medium. Her artwork is known for its bold and dramatic use of color, capturing a mood, memory, or experience that enriches the spirit. Our lives are all enriched by the work of this award-winning artist.”
