Here is my latest painting "Sun Kissed".  I just fell in love with the zinnias in my last painting so I couldn't resist painting a zoomed in version.  Do you think this would translate well into a larger painting?

I finished the painting today.  This is a commissioned piece 10.5" x 12".  I'll be painting some more zinnias tomorrow:)  I may have a new favorite flower.

Work In Progress 8/30

Work in Progress watercolor by Carrie Waller 10.5 " x 12"

Thought I would share my work in progress.  I had the best time painting the zinnias.  That is why I love painting commissions because I never would have painted a zinnia if not for this painting.

Work In Progress Day 7/30 painting challenge

work in progress original watercolor by Carrie Waller

I'm working on a commission and I knew it would take longer than one day.  I would not want to rush it, so I'll be posting the work in progress pictures as I go.  I think the goal of the challenge is to be pushing ourselves and painting every day.

This painting is a favorite things painting for the client, her favorite flowers, author, her garden and her favorite mug and coffee.  When she said her favorite flower was zinnias I had to go on a hunt to find some.  A local florists, Curly Willow Designs in Cabot, AR picked these from her garden and gave them to me in a lovely arrangement for free.  I just love the kindness of strangers:)  In return I brought her and her staff cupcakes from a local baker.

Stay tuned for more work in progress pics:)
