"Banned" 18" x 24" watercolor, completed by Carrie Waller

In spite of a little boy with 104 fever last night, I finished my painting.  Sam is much better today and I was staying up to monitor him during his sleep so I thought I may as well paint.  I'm hoping he just had a 24 hour thing.  Can I tell you how done I am with the winter and sickness at our house.  Bring on spring and summer!

So I present you after 12 days of working on this painting a completed "Banned".  I love the color scheme and I will be doing at least one more lightbulb painting.  But I'm taking a break and painting another painting in the mean time.  If I were not participating in the 30 in 30 challenge, which I've adapted to 30 day of continuous painting.  So I'm doing the drawing for my next painting today.

So stinkin' close to be finished:)  But these reflected areas of light on the left side of the painting require me to take my time.  I want them to be beautiful.  So I'm stretching it out one more day.

Since I just fell asleep with the paintbrush in my hand I'm calling it a night.

So close to the finish line:)

"Banned" work in progress Day 4

Hi Everyone,

"Banned" work in progress, watercolor 18" x 24" by Carrie Waller

I'm moving along.  I was up until 4 a.m. painting last night.  I find it easiest to paint when the house is quiet.  Can I tell you how much I'm going to miss Christmas break, no getting up at 7 a.m.  I am looking forward to getting back into a routine but why can't the kid's school start at a reasonable hour like 9 or 10 a.m. ?

Here is my progress so far.  I'm trying to paint at least 2 lightbulbs a day.  Each one takes 3-4 hours.  I told you I paint slow:)
