Work In Progress Wednesday: "Painted Ladies"

"Painted Ladies" 6" x 9" original watercolor copyright Carrie Waller

Here are the work in progress pics for "Painted Ladies".  I have to thank Sherry of Crimson Leaves blog for the title:)  I think it's perfect and went well with the "Rainbow Row" title I have of Charleston SC fame.

Is it only Wednesday, feels like Friday!  I'm ready for Friday:)  I'll be heading out to see the Louisiana Watercolor Society's International show at the Garden District Gallery in New Orleans.  I'm excited to see my piece hanging in person.  In the mean time one of my friends sent a pic of the space and my painting.

LWS International Show, my painting is the one in the corner the green bottles "Going Green".

Also had an unexpected delight this week.  I was working at the gallery I'm part of this weekend and dropped one of the local magazines and it popped open to  a full page print of my painting "Summer Kaleidoscope".  The painting is in a local show here in Little Rock and the gallery sent in images and the magazine decided to use my painting as the full page opener for their events sections.  They of course talk about my painting at the bottom and gave me credit.

'Stacked'

Hi Everyone,

Hope you had a great weekend:)  Here is my completed 6x6 'Stacked'.  I once again painted the candlewick dishes that I so love to paint. 

If you saw my post last Wednesday I shared with you a few wip pictures.  Here are the last of the wip pictures in this series.

 I'm also thrilled that all 3 of the pieces I entered into the Randy Higbee 6" Squared show have been accepted.  They are on their way to California for the show opening in Dec.
