In 1997, watercolor artist Kay Smith and Linda Rupard founded the Caboose Watercolor Society out of theirboxcar and yellow caboose studios in Big Spring’s historic downtown. Carole Berry joined the Society in setting goals to promote professional watercolor as a business and to work at enhancing skills and abilities in handling the medium. This coming October marks a twenty-year milestone for the watercolorists. The Caboose Watercolor Society consists of seven members; Kay Smith, Linda Rupard, Carole Berry, Sue Bagwell, Leada Wood, Estelle Howard and Susie Powell. They have several local or traveling exhibits annually to promote exciting and splashy watercolors.
