The Martha Hudson “Award for Excellence in Watercolor” is an annual event for the St. Michaels Art League (SMAL). Martha Hudson was well known in the community for her watercolors, depicting scenes of Eastern Shore life. As a young art student, Martha was given a grant to use for the continuation of her studies. In return, she generously left an endowment to the St. Michaels Art League for an award to be given each year to a deserving watercolor artist.
This year’s winner, Marianne Kost, was awarded first prize for her painting, titled “Joanne and Julie,” at the St. Michaels Art League’s holiday party on December 5th.
Second place went to Joan Cranor for “Palm Burst.” The third place winner was Pat Alberico for her work titled, “Threads of Love.” Honorable mentions went to Pat Dautle for “Spirit,” Valerie Sunderland for “Hoss,” and Jan Perdue for “Lobster Bake.”
