"Sunset Boulevard"the next to last in my bottle series, for now:))  I just love that little honey jar.  It picked up so many different colors in each painting.  Next week I'll be sharing my last jar painting and then I'm not sure what I'm going to paint.  I have a few ideas running around my head.

Then we'll be moving to a new house up the street.  One of the draw backs of the military life is because you move so much buying a house really isn't an option.  We have bought and sold 1 time when we lived in Charleston, SC.  It was a great experience and we sold and made a profit at the beginning of the real estate debacle.  But it was honestly one of the most nerve wracking experiences, so we have decided not to buy again until we are in one place more than 18 mos - 2 yrs.   Which brings us to our current situation our current landlords (military also) sold our house--even though it wasn't on the market.  So we have to move in the middle of one of our moves.  This will be the first time that we have to pack it all up and move it ourselves.  I'm really hoping that because we are just moving up the street that it won't be too much of an endeavor.  I'll keep you posted:)

"Going Green" received 2nd place at the LWS 43rd International Exhibition

I also have some exciting news.  I attended the Louisiana Watercolor Society's 43rd International Exhibit.  I was really excited because this is my 3rd year entering and 3rd year that I was accepted which meant I achieved signature status.  So I am now Carrie Waller,  LWS:)  Achieving signature status was thrilling on it's own, but I also placed 2nd in the exhibition.  I was bowled over by this. The caliber of work is astonishing and to have one of the top awards is just baffling to me.  I'm grateful and exited.  For me entering these competitions gives me a push and motivates me.  I just absolutely love watercolor and painting!!
