A note from Rachel

April 9, 2009

It’s a beautiful view from here.



Once again, I was faced with the dilemma of viewing many more splendid works of art than would fit into one book. We do our best to judge the paintings “blind,” i.e. not looking at the names of the artists until later, and I was pleased this time around to end up with quite a few names I was unfamiliar with: names that had never appeared in Splash, or any of my books, before. This should indeed give #11 a fresh look in line with our theme of “New Directions.” The only thing that would make my job even better and more beautiful would be to work on Splash from a mountain balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. (Any offers?)



My personal congratulations to this edition’s winners!



Sincerely,



Rachel Wolf



P.S. I’ll be checking in periodically through the News section of the Splash website. Come back and visit often!
