Pomegranates and Cranberries WIP

watercolor on paper 18 x 24

This week I'm posting a WIP.  I did a small version of this painting recently and I'm working on the larger version as a competition painting.  I have to have it finished by Thursday.  So I have just pulled an all nighter and I'm only about half way finished, aggghhhh!!  Wish me luck folks, because this is a busy week.  My hubby is promoting to Major in the Air Force, so we have a party planned for that evening.  We also have family coming into town, to have a late Christmas and be here for the promotion.  I may be living on an IV of Diet Mt. Dew.  Oh, well, you have to do what you have to do.  I certainly could use some elves right now, I'm sure a few could be spared, it is a down time for them:)

Also check my post from New Year's here.  I have posted my top 10 paintings from 2010 and my top 10 goals for 2011.  What are your goals?  I'd love to hear them.  I'm so grateful for all of the comments on that post and I promise I will thank each of  you soon.  Happy New Year everyone!

    Carrie, congratulations for your husband.
    I look forward to see this watercolor finished.
    This year, I would like to organize an exhibition with fish mongers of my town and also print a book of my watercolors... Please, Santa Claus, be back and help me ;)!
    Have fun Carrie and good luck for this painting.
    Bises.

    It is just beautiful Carrie! It simply glows already. Those colors in the cranberries and in that pomegranite are so rich. Lovely, lovely work. Good luck with your deadline! And congrats to you and your hubby!

    I'm so glad that when I clicked on the image it got bigger! This is coming along great, and I hope you get it finished on time. Congrats to your husband on the big promotion! All the best...hope a few elves show up. As for art goals, I just want to keep painting as much as I can (hopefully every day) and enjoy it! Shows and sales would be a bonus. lol

    Carrie, good luck with the competition! I just had to click on the painting to view it larger and I'm so happy I did. What gorgeous details. It's magical...I hope you and your family have a happy and healthy New Year! It sounds like it's off to a bang with your husband's promotion. How wonderful!

    Thank you for your kind comment let on my blog. Je me suis promenée agréablement sur le vôtre que je découvre avec joie.
    J'apprécie la progression de ce dernier tableau en cours et je savoure le dessin derrière la peinture qui pour moi est la base essentielle pour le juste équilibre de la toile.
    Le bord de votre coupe de fruit est un véritable travail de titan tout comme l'imprimé de drapé. Félicitations.
    Je reviendrai faire le détour par ici...
    Bisous
