FASO Featured Artist

Hi Everyone,
"Great Balls of Fire" watercolor on paper 6x6 Sold
Thought I would share with you that Fine Art Studio Online has me as their featured artist.  How cool is that!!!  I guess I better get my rear in gear and get back to painting now that I'm seeing the light of day since we're about 90 percent of the way unpacked and settled.

Art critic Brian Sherwin had this to say about my work:  on Carrie Waller's watercolor paintings, stating, "Waller's attention to detail is remarkable. This level of realism is extremely difficult to achieve in watercolor." Sherwin added, "I've known artists who have explored watercolor for decades -- many will tell you that watercolor is one of the hardest forms of painting to master. This level of skill is rare."

  6. Hey Carrie, how is Little Rock? I can imagine all the work and stress associated with uproot and move -- especially with young boys! Congratulations on the feature -- you totally deserved every single word of that review! Now that I am trying my hands at glass objects, I have an even higher admiration for your skills and attention to details... Can't wait to see new works of yours!
