Hi Everyone,

| "The Original Blizzard" original watercolor on paper by Carrie Waller BID NOW |
The theme this month for the Cook-Waller challenge was "winter". Now living in the South that word doesn't have the impact that it does in other areas of the country, so it took a little thinking. My brother was in town over the holidays and I asked him what word comes to mind when I say winter and he immediately said blizzard. I responded, "The only blizzard you're going to get around here is at Dairy Queen". So there you have it the answer to my challenge:) It is after all "the original blizzard" it says so right on the cup! My painting is up for auction through
DPW.

| "The Storm Breaks" original watercolor on paper by Crystal Cook 6"x6" |
Crystal had a different approach, living in Utah, I would expect she sees a little more of this than a DQ blizzard. She answered the challenge with a beautiful landscape, which is a departure for her. I think it is beautiful and dramatic and I love her sky. Check out her blog

| "Tall Drink of Water" original watercolor on paper by Carrie Waller 20" x 35" |
I also put the finishing touches on my painting "Tall Drink of Water" (thank you Kathy Cousart for the title). My stars on the little labels weren't aligned, and it's never good when your stars aren't aligned. I had to fix that. I also softened the background a little. Also had other little details I wanted to finish.
We also found out that we'll be moving to Little Rock, Arkansas after Brian gets back. So if anyone knows anything about the art scene there I would love to be in the know:)
See you Wednesday,
Carrie
