| "Blue Skies" 6" x 9" watercolor by Carrie Waller |
Here is the last of my rainbow bottle series "Blue Skies". The last one for a while. I have the coolest idea for a painting, and it will be my next painting after I finish moving! Trust me I would much rather be painting. Doing a self move is painful folks. I have gained a huge respect for movers and am more than grateful to my amazing mother-in-law for putting on her Super Mom cape and saving the day. She came in and packed a majority of our house while watching our rug rats so that we could load and unload stuff at the new house. Our saving grace is that we are only moving up the street. The life of the military, we can now check of DITY (Do It Yourself) move off our list--well we will be able to check it off next week, I'll let you know if we survive:)

| "Reminiscence" watercolor by Carrie Waller accepted into the 43rd Mid Southern Watercolor Society's Exhibit. |
I also got word that my painting "Reminiscence" has been accepted into the 43rd Mid Southern Watercolor Society's exhibit. I had a first experience with this show. The show coordinator called me to let me know the only reason she didn't accept "Anticipation" is because of trademark issues. I'm assuming that is a legit concern but since that painting has been published in Watercolor Artist, Splash 14, and a different Ball jar painting was accepted into NWS's show I was a little surprised. So one more thing to think about. She also didn't accept another artist's painting with Coca Cola bottles (not mine). I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. I think it would be extremely difficult to eliminate all trademarked items from still life paintings.
