CYBER MONDAY SALE, Backlit Beauties, and other news

Hi Everyone,

I'm so happy to announce my first ever  CYBER MONDAY SALE.  Please take a look:)

I have available paintings up to 50% off:)

I also am getting read for a gallery show tomorrow at Local Colour Gallery in Little Rock.

I've been working a little more with gold leaf.  I'm titling this piece "Backlit Beauties".  I photographed these gorgeous red pears in the beautiful golden sun and I thought that the gold leaf would be the perfect thing to set them off.

"Backlit Beauties" 10" x 20" watercolor with 22k gold leaf background
$350

Here it is in it's frame.  It's so hard to photograph gold leaf.

And I thought I would show you this view so you can see a bit of the scale.

I hope you all had a wonderful Turkey Day (for those of you in the US).  I can not believe it's Dec. 2.  We'll have to start writing 2014 before we blink.

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.

Winter WIP and Gallery Goodness

Hi Everyone,

"Winter" work in progress original watercolor on paper y Carrie Waller

Today I'm sharing my most recent work in progress.  I can not believe that Thanksgiving is almost upon us and Christmas is a blink away.  I have so much I HAVE to get done, including this painting and about 6 others not to mention we're going to Disney World in the middle of it all, aahhhh!  Oh well, wouldn't be the Holidays if it wasn't crazy busy.

So, say a prayer and cross your fingers that this portrait turns out well, as most of you will know, portraits are not my thing, but I happen to love the reference photo I took of this, sooooooo if it goes they way I hope it does it should be interesting.

Also wanted to share some fabulous news.  I joined a gallery in Little Rock, AR, this month and we just had the Fall show and it was tremendously successful!!!!!  It was a very crowded lively gallery on the night of the show and I sold 4 paintings and met some wonderful people.  I'm still on cloud 9!!!!!!!

My new gallery located at 5811 Kavanaugh Blvd, Little Rock, AR

How cool is that:)
