"Incandescent" 18" x 24" watercolor by Carrie Waller

I may not have slept in the past 24 hours but I have a completed painting!  Yay!!!  And I completed by my competition deadline.  Just have to drop the entry in the mail tomorrow, phew!

It's hard to believe that I started this the day I came down with the flu.  I should probably title this "Tamiflu" because without it I wouldn't have this painting,  miracle drug I tell you.

I want to thank everyone for the comments that you've been making.  If I weren't so sleep deprived I would e-mail you all.  I appreciate every comment and trust me when I'm tired and in the home stretch of a painting your comments pull me through.

Now I'm going to sleep!  Tomorrow the Christmas trees come down because I have a newspaper photo shoot on Wednesday!  Love my crazy life:)

"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.

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

So close to the finish line:)
