I Need Your Help--Vote for your Favorites

Hi Everyone,

I've just finished the last of my 6x6's for the Randy Higbee contest.  I'm titling this one 'Nostalgia'.  This chair is my Grandma's chair.  It has been sitting on her back porch for as long as I can remember.  The last time I visited, I decided to photograph this chair because I love all of the age and layers of paint.  My Grandma asked me why I wanted  to take a picture of that old chair, she said she's been meaning to refinish it.  I told her I thought it was beautiful and to please not refinish it, I'm hoping one day to own this chair.  I photographed it in front of her hydrangea bushes.  These also remind me so much of my Grandma's house.  I thought it was fitting that the blooms were at the end of their life, very fitting for the chair.

Now I need your help, I'm going to enter 4 out of the 6 and I really need your opinion.  I have each one labeled with a letter, please choose your top 4 and let me know.  You can leave a comment below, e-mail me at carriewallerart@gmail.com or leave me a message on facebook.  I value your opinion:)

Thanks everyone!  Hope you have a fabulous weekend.  Oh and the deadline is Monday, so please respond in a timely fashion,  I'm very grateful for your opinions and comments!  Please Vote:)

Glasgow Abbey

Original watercolor on paper 6 x6  Reserved
This week I'm starting a series of 6 x 6 paintings in preparation for Randy Higbee's 6x6 show.  I plan on painting several and maybe having all of you help me decide which ones to enter.  I think I'll put them to a vote when I'm done.

Today's painting is a 6x6 of an abbey in Glasgow.  I took this picture when we were visiting Scotland.  We were walking through the town and we stumbled on to this abbey.  It was one of those Kodak moments.
Alabama Camelias framed
Pomegranates and Cranberries framed
Brian was on a trip for work last week, so the boys and I packed it up and headed to Charleston, South Carolina to visit my Mom.  We had a great time and conveniently my Mom owns a frame shop, sooooo while we were there I framed some pics.  I framed my entry into the Energen competition in Birmingham and my entry headed for the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art.

Hope you have a great week and check back I should be posting paintings more frequently.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
