Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping that 2012 is treating you well!!! I'm posting my WIP. I'll share my progress again on Wednesday. It's a big guy. I'm working on a full sheet. It's been a slow start because I've not used a mostly green palette before and I had to work out the colors, but now I'm on a roll.
I have let the New Year start without acknowledging my 2nd Blogiversary. In some ways I can not believe it has been 2 years and in others I feel like this is such a part of my life and I've made such wonderful friends that I've been at this forever. As I roll into my 3rd year I am proud of what I have accomplished. I feel renewed and even more motivated. I was worried that at the end of year 1 I would be burned out by my commitment to paint everyday, but it has become a wonderful habit. This blog has held me accountable and you wonderful people have pushed me along and been there every step of the way! I can not Thank You enough!!!!
To celebrate I'm going to be giving away a pack of my mini-prints. To enter just leave a comment and an e-mail address so that I can contact you. I'll announce my winner next Monday!
Let's make 2012 the best year yet:)))

Fabulous green, Carrie.....this will be magnificent I'm sure. Please enter me in your give-away. I believe you have my email address already. What a wonderful new year this has been for me so far; new job and a renewed spirit. Blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThis will certainly be another great piece. Look forward to seeing the greens. pamholnback@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCarrie, this looks very intriguing! LOVE the greens!! I am feeling the urge to do something BIG again, too.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win some of your art : studioatthefarm7@gmail.com
Ooooh this is going to be spectacular!! Can't wait to see it finished. :)) I want to win your prints! You know my email. ;)
ReplyDeleteLet's hope people don't think this is 'fixed' when I WIN your mini-prints!!! (kidding, remembering Leslie Saeta's giveaway!)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the progress on this one - greens are so dreamy - yet I hardly use them, either... at least as a predominant color! Congratulations on your bloggiversary (or however you spell it).
And here: kcareymac@hotmail.com.. now you know how to contact me to tell me I won.:)
*shout out to Steven and Sam!*
Oooooh, a delicious gimme! Congratulations on your 2nd blogiversary, that's an accomplishment. Send me goodies at
ReplyDeletepatricia@pscarborougharts.com Thanks in advance!
Carrie,
ReplyDeleteYou are a courageous lady to plan for green as a main color. It's always a challenge for me to get the "correct" green when I do foliage. Thank YOU, too, for all the work you put into your posts. I have learned from your comments and interviews and appreciate them very much!

A full sheet will be spectacular and I also appreciate following your progress and interviews. I look forward to your posts. whitewolf.studio@yahoo.com

I just want to say that I absolutely love your paintings! Can't wait to see how this one turns out :)
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity (just 'cause I struggle with my greens) what pigments are you using to create such luscious greens?

Wow Carrie, this is going to be fabulous. Such wonderful color. I admire your patience and perseverance.

Holy Cow! I can't even imagine painting on a full sheet. I'm so impressed . . . this looks fantastic so far! Congratulations on your blogiversary! :) Looking forward to your next post on this one.
ReplyDeleteUn excellent départ pour débuter cette année 2012, bravo ! J'ai hâte de voir l'évolution de votre travail... Je suis admirative de votre souci du détail...
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
Congrats on your blogaversary and I'm looking forward to your Pellegrino WIP posts. The painting is already looking good!

Hi Carrie ! Great idea thoses bottles ( full or empty ? ). I loved to paint that subject too few days ago... Happy birthday to your blog ! It has grown so beautifully and it's always a pleasure to read your posts. I wondered...wich size for this watercolor Carrie? You already know my e-mail... Bises.
ReplyDeleteThe greens are looking beautiful already - a large painting will take some time so we'll have to be patient :) Count me in for the prints - I'd love to win! You already have my email addy and I'll be crossing my fingers...and Happy 2nd Blogger-versary!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your work and think we paint somewhat similarly (remember those Ball jars!!! - yours were waaaaaaaaaay better than mine!). Am going to enjoy watching this one grow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished product!
It will be so interesting to see how this develops, Carrie! Thanks for sharing your process.
ReplyDeleteThis WIP is coming along wonderfully as usual. I just adore your work. And congratulations on your blogoversary!

Full sheet.. Wow.. Really waiting for this now..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blog anniversary. This new piece is going to be beautiful and since you're using my favorite color I'm even more anxious to see how it turns out.

Although it's just a very small section, those greens do look lovely, and the illusion of light through glass is already there! You are becoming a master of glass objects! I loved your ball jar paintings and can't wait to see this one coming into shape...
ReplyDeleteI have been following you silently for quite some time, and what you have committed to do and achieved because of the commitment is really great and inspiring. This year, I decided to do the same thing, committing myself to paint daily and finish two paintings a week. I have created my own daily painting blog in order to accomplish that. I just want to say here: Thank you. What you have done here despite of your busy life has encouraged me to take the leap. I will be following your beautiful work here as usual.
And, yes, I want those beautiful prints too! (Can't miss it can I ;-)
Always enjoy your blog and am a big fan. So much fun to see you come into your own! Know you are holding down the fort while your husband serves our country and that always touches me= cause you are serving too! Carrie- you are such an extremely talented and gifted artist- look forward to your posts and your paintings. Take care!!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie thank you so much for commenting on my blog and appreciate your comment. Glad you enjoyed the music that went along with the trailer, gotta love "Midnight in Paris". Excited to see this painting develop. Truly love your paintings you render deeper than whats their, you bring out the sole of the subject or place you'r painting. Congratulations as well for your second year blogging thats so great you've been at it for this long, I wish you the very best and many more to come. Keep up the beautiful work and apologize for not visiting as often as I should. Take care!
ReplyDeleteSo happy I found you! Your paintings are beautiful!!! Please include me in your Give-away...I'm at maxeenme@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the next post,
Gigi
I'm doing the maths now and I think I must be almost two aswell in that case! Gosh - I need to start thinking about what to do for it!
ReplyDeleteYour bottles look as though they will be completely brilliant. That rich dark green - such a brave colour! I am really looking forward to seeing the finished painting :0)
I love san pellegrino water and your artwork!
ReplyDeleteBoth are sparkly! :)
