NOTE
By Kelly Kane A Sign of Good Things to Come
Choosing a cover image is a sometimes contentious, but always exciting,
proposition here at the Watercolor Magic offi ces. Often we have several
images to choose from, and the staff and I will meet numerous times to argue
the merits of each, testing the options in a number of scenarios—hanging on
my offi ce wall, propped up on our makeshift “mini-newsstand,” or out in the
hallway where we can gauge the oohs and ahs of passersby. For the
October issue, we even turned to you by way of our e-newsletter to
help us choose (we were torn between one of Susan Shatter’s dynamic
waterscapes and the quiet, but exquisite, The Draining Mill by John
Sell Cotman; thanks to your votes, the waterscape won out).
But then there are times when we know we’ve got our cover the
minute we see the image. Such was the case the instant Gregory
Raymond Halili’s Dreaming in Yellow crossed our desks. That the
stunning painting is contemporary, fresh and engaging goes with-
out saying, but the subject also couldn’t have been more timely. Our
February 2008 issue will mark the 15th anniversary of the magazine, and we’re
in the throes of preparing for that celebratory issue as we go to press with
this one. The image of the butterfl y, the symbol of rebirth, coincides with our
observance of a resurgence in watermedia painting and with our exploration
of how the magazine must continue to grow and adapt to meet the needs of
our readers.
When Watercolor Magic debuted in 1993 as a one-time-only special issue
of our sister publication The Artist’s Magazine, it was to celebrate the growing
number of watercolor artists and the beautiful yet unpredictable qualities that
constitute the magic of the medium. No surprise to any of us with a passion
for watercolor, the issue caused a sensation. The magazine soon accepted
subscriptions and was published quarterly. Now a bimonthly publication, the
magazine continues to serve a devoted readership of talented and passionate
watercolor artists. As we celebrate 15 years of the best in watercolor, we’ll also
be celebrating another new chapter in the magazine’s distinguished history
by debuting a new name, one that still celebrates the magic of watercolor but
puts the emphasis where it rightfully belongs—on you, the artist. And, hence,
