Almost There:)

Hi Everyone,
Almost done!!!  watercolor on paper 23.5 x 32--and no that's not the title:)

I'm so stinkin' close to being finished:)  This taking a kid to school every morning is really cutting into my late night painting time-kidding!!  It is an adjustment, but Steven is loving school.  My little guy is enjoying some one on one Mommy time while his bro is at school.  He is a bit jealous and keeps telling me he needs to go to school, so cute!

So I can assure you Friday I will have a finished piece.  I even have a frame.  The benefits of having a Mom with a frame shop.  She mailed me the molding, cut and ready to be built.  Can't wait to show you the whole package:)
"Circles"
"Hand Shapes"
Steven did manage to do some art for you.  I have to tell you this stuff could be in some modern art museums.  I think he is an artistic genius, I may be biased but still, it's really cool.  He's after one of my full sheets of watercolor paper, I think I'll let him go to town this weekend.  I'll even let him stretch a piece of paper he'll think that's really big!

  3. Carrie, I've really enjoyed watching these jars come together - fascinating. I always say (but it's true) I love seeing process. Thank you for sharing! As for "Circles", yep, it could be in a gallery ; )

  4. This is looking so amazing. The colours, the composition, the style.... and yours is quite good too Carrie, lol ;0)
    Actually during my recent visit to the Tate Britain, amongst the art of the greats, in the abstract section I saw some work that comes a very poor second to Stevens paintings! He could go a long way! :0D

  10. These jars are just beautiful. I am in awe- amazed at how they have such realistic transparency. I think they are my favorite of your pieces so far. Love "artist juniors" work also- yes, he could be the next generation coming up!

  11. I feel as if you have brought us to the studio with you as we watch this piece develop into a finished work. I can see that your budding artist inherited some of the artistic genes!

    Bises,

  12. Steven's work is wonderful but since he has such a talented mom I'm not surprised. This canning jar piece is stunning and seeing it come together like this makes it even better.
