Spring Bouquet

Hi Everyone,

I spent the weekend getting ready to take several pieces of art to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art.  On March 15th I'm going to have a mini-opening as a featured artist in their shop.  So I've been working on a few small pieces, matting and framing some others.

Here are two little pieces that I painted this weekend.

It's been an exciting and busy week.  I also sold 4 paintings last week 2 commissions and 2 others.  I am truly blessed.

On the home front we'll be moving in a couple of months, right after Brian gets home, so we had people looking at our house last week.  Nothing makes you get organized than having people looking through your closets.  I also had to get my pool from a lovely shade of green back to blue.  Happy to report after 240lbs of salt and some algaecide it's looking pretty good, not bad for a weeks work:)  I also put together two cubby shelves for the boys room and managed to only have to take one apart and start over:)  Oh, yeah and we dodged those horrible tornadoes that tore through the South and mid-west.  The skipped over our town but not by too much.  I pray for everyone that was effected by those storms.

I hope you had a fabulous weekend.

Hi Everyone,

I've just finished the last of my 6x6's for the Randy Higbee contest.  I'm titling this one 'Nostalgia'.  This chair is my Grandma's chair.  It has been sitting on her back porch for as long as I can remember.  The last time I visited, I decided to photograph this chair because I love all of the age and layers of paint.  My Grandma asked me why I wanted  to take a picture of that old chair, she said she's been meaning to refinish it.  I told her I thought it was beautiful and to please not refinish it, I'm hoping one day to own this chair.  I photographed it in front of her hydrangea bushes.  These also remind me so much of my Grandma's house.  I thought it was fitting that the blooms were at the end of their life, very fitting for the chair.

Now I need your help, I'm going to enter 4 out of the 6 and I really need your opinion.  I have each one labeled with a letter, please choose your top 4 and let me know.  You can leave a comment below, e-mail me at carriewallerart@gmail.com or leave me a message on facebook.  I value your opinion:)

Thanks everyone!  Hope you have a fabulous weekend.  Oh and the deadline is Monday, so please respond in a timely fashion,  I'm very grateful for your opinions and comments!  Please Vote:)

Lavender Tulips

original watercolor on paper 6x6 Reserved

Spring is in the air!  Flowers are blooming and the weather is starting to get warmer, at least in Alabama.  With all of these lovely days I was very excited to paint some beautiful tulips.  I chose lavender, because it is a pantone color for 2011.  If you saw the Oscar's there were a lot of lavender gowns on the red carpet.  Since it is such a popular fashion color it will be popping up in home decor also.   I just loved painting with this palette, so fresh and Springy:)  So I'm sharing a little glimpse of spring with you.

I'm trying to crank out a couple more of these 6x6 paintings before Randy Higbee's deadline.  Can't wait to have all of you help me decide which ones to enter:)
