original watercolor 18 x 24 up for auction Sat, June 25, Carterville, Illinois


This weekend my hometown of Carterville, Illinois is having a huge celebration.  There will be a parade, tours of the old high school that just graduated its last class, a special program celebrating the town, a book launch, a silent auction, a crepe paper social and lots more.  Some very talented ladies, Sheri Hunter and Jennifer Spence have written a book about Carterville and the surrounding towns and will be selling copies.  I had the honor of contributing some paintings to the cause.  My paintings will be auctioned during a silent auction Saturday.  It should be a fabulous time, I'm proud to say I'm a Carterville alumnus--Go Lions:)

Here is the link to the original post which gives a little more info about each painting.  Click Here

    Carrie, these are great! You nailed the vintage feel, colours etc. I love how you tailored your palette - the drug store piece has rich, subtle colours that make the grays sparkle. The cash register is beautiful - as well as the fountain top. Also love the blues of her dress and the car together. Have fun at your hometown party!
