Thank you Cape Cod Art Center for embracing my style and rewarding my work!

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“A State of Perpetual Surprise” Wins Second Prize in the Cape Cod Art Center’s Autumn National Exhibit – On view until November 13, 2026A State of Perpetual Surprise 2025 I'm so gratified that the Cape Cod Art Center appreciates my less traditional watercolor art, which allows me to process and share a lot of ideas for which words are inadequate. As a newly-minted juried artist at the Center, it's great to be in the company of so many artists I admire and I look forward to seeing the full show. The opening reception is on Friday, October 23, 2026 from 5-7pm. The Autumn National exhibit is on view Monday through Friday 9am-4pm, through Friday, November 13, 2026.

This midwesterner cannot get enough of the New England salt marshes. #capecod

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“Where do you think you’re going?” now on view at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society through November 6, 2026Where do you think you're going? This small 8x8" (12x12" framed) watercolor depicts one of my favorite views on Cape Cod. When I can, I wander down the street each morning and evening to see what the changing light brings - and it is different every single time. It's part of the Rhode Island Watercolor Society's "Seasons" exhibit on view until November 6. The Society is open Thursdays and Fridays 10am - 4pm and Saturdays 10am - 3pm. As I've noted before, the Society is located in a lovely area of Pawtucket, RI, that is especially beautiful this time of year.

Just when I think there are too many Cape Cod landscapes out there, I paint one I really like.

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“The Golden Hour” on view through October 20 at the Sandwich Arts Alliance’s Fall for Art ExhibitThe Golden Hour The Sandwich, MA, boardwalk is one of my favorite salt marshes. Whenever people come to visit, we try to make time to visit the boardwalk. This painting, now on view at the Sandwich Arts Alliance, captures the October light I love so much. Salt marshes leave the Midwesterner in me dumbfounded with delight - they are different every time you look at them. On the shore the tides move in and out pretty much the same way no matter where you are, but the marshes give you not just the blues and purples of the water, but extraordinary greens, pinks and oranges and their reflections. Sandwich salt marsh, July 2026 The Arts Alliance is in the historic old Sandwich Town Hall, and open Tuesday - Saturday, 11-4.

More good news. I love this piece. Stop by the New England Watercolor Society's Associate Members exhibit at the Plymouth Center for the Arts, on view through November 4.

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“Nothing Like the Sun” accepted to the New England Watercolor Society Associate Members Show, on view through November 4, 2026This is a recent favorite and it's included with a lot of beautiful work by NEWS members at the Plymouth Center for the Arts in Plymouth, MA. Nothing Like the Sun, 2026 Inspired by my 2025 visit to France, I feel like I finally captured a bit of the light and heat of those wonderful days at Clos Mirabel in the French Pyrenees. Autumn is a great time to visit the Watercolor Society's dedicated space at the Center because there's so much to see there and in historic Plymouth. If you haven't seen Plymouth Rock yet, New Englanders are endlessly amused by the giant monument that protects the diminutive rock.

Groton, MA, has so many beautiful views and this one will be on display at the Sandwich Arts Alliance on Cape Cod through early September.

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“Fairview View” accepted to the Sandwich Arts Alliance’s annual June Kershaw juried exhibit August 5 – September 8, 2026.The Sandwich Arts Alliance's June Kershaw exhibit is a great showcase for Cape Cod artists, and I am honored to be included again this year. The Alliance's gallery and classrooms are located in the historical old Sandwich Town Hall, which has recently been renovated and restored - this exhibit is part of its grand re-opening. Located near the Sandwich Glass Museum (where they have daily glass blowing demonstrations) Heritage Museum and Gardens (which has antique cars and a vintage indoor carousel) and a very walkable Main Street, it is definitely worth a day trip if you are vacationing on the Cape.

"May Altar" is one of a series of paintings I did as part of an art class this past winter. I usually have a rosary in my pocket and decided to see where the beads would lead. This piece is on view as part of the Umbrella Arts Center's summer student exhibit on view in Concord, MA through August 30.

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“May Altar” included in the Umbrella Arts Student Show, A Moment of Reflection, now through August 30, 2026I owe so much to the Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, Massachusetts, for the opportunities they've provided to me and countless other artists, giving us a chance to pursue art instruction from an incredibly gifted group of instructors whose work inspires us every day. I've studied under Kat O'Connor on and off since 2017, when I took my first watercolor class at the Umbrella thinking it might help me help Walt expand his art to include painting. It turned out that I was the one who expanded my art horizon under Kat's steady guidance.

Two works on view online through the Rhode Island Watercolor Society. The Making Your Mark juried exhibit can be view through March 26. Great show!

sarahconnellcampbellart.com“Coastal Chaos” and “Then There’s the Wildness” on view now at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society Making Your Mark online ExhibitCoast Chaos, Watercolor + ink on paper, 2026 Then There's the Wildness, Watercolor on paper, 2026 The Rhode Island Watercolor Society warms up the winter months by hosting online juried shows and I'm so glad to be included in this exhibit, Making Your Mark. Mark making is the use of lines, dots or other patterns as part of creating an image. It can be cross hatching or strokes of paint or ink - for me, sometimes it's a struggle to assure that the marks don't overwhelm the composition. The process itself is so satisfying to me that sometimes I have to leave a piece for days or weeks and come back to it to see if it's successful or work on it some more (or pitch it). You can view the full exhibit at the link above or see it on Facebook. Viewable until March 27, 2026.

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

Rand Paul summons Trump immigration officials to testify after Minneapolis shooting

dlvr.itRand Paul summons Trump immigration officials to testify after Minneapolis shootingThe Kentucky Republican is requesting testimony from DHS leaders at a Feb. 12 hearing. Sen. Rand Paul, chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, called on three top immigration enforcement officials to testify before his panel in the wake of Saturday’s killing of a Minneapolis man by federal agents. The Kentucky Republican sent letters Monday to Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection; Joseph Edlow, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; and Todd Lyons, who is serving as acting director of ICE, requesting that the three men testify at a Feb. 12 hearing. “As you know, the Department of Homeland Security has been provided an exceptional amount of funding to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws,” Paul said in the letters to the administration officials. “Congress has an obligation to conduct oversight of those tax dollars and ensure the funding is used to accomplish the mission, provide proper support for our law enforcement, and, most importantly, protect the American people.” Paul’s letters don’t mention this weekend’s killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, which has sparked a wave of new scrutiny of the immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota ordered by President Donald Trump. But the hearing would be the first chance senators will have to question Trump administration officials’ over the shooting and the president’s broader immigration and Homeland Security agenda. Separately, Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) joined the growing ranks of Republicans raising questions about the shooting, saying he supports a “full and transparent investigation into the tragic event in Minneapolis.” “Congress has requested testimony from ICE, CBP, and USCIS leaders in an open hearing, and they should testify soon,” said Young, who is not a member of Paul’s committee, in a statement to POLITICO. “Providing the American people with the full facts is an important part of maintaining public trust. We also need state and local officials to better cooperate with federal enforcement efforts.”

What can I say - the Rhode Island Watercolor society gets me. This is going to be a great show.

Sometimes I feel like my work is a bit of comic relief in an angsty and serious time and that's perfectly fine with me - but the tiny figure in the window in this piece represents something important to me. I can't presume to know what it might evoke in the viewer, but comments are encouraged.
