Kulay sa Tubig

The 25th Kulay sa Tubig Invitational Watercolor Competition Exhibition is ongoing at the Art Center, SM Megamall until September 2. The judges appear to favor solid dark backgrounds or simple subjects over busy compositions, with exceptions, of course. Toti Cerda's "Give Peace", Fernando Sena's "Happy Toys" and Lester Rodriguez's "You've got a friend" were not among the winning entries, but they were the ones I liked most, perhaps out of nostalgia, since they were all about childhood from a girl's perspective.
