    Amazingly beautiful, gloriously flowing ad infinitum. I love it.

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    Thanks Candor and Damo… it’s been a long time in the making. One of those paintings when you just have to stop, because as you said Candor, it has a sense of ininitum… so no beginning, no end. Probably a random stroke of luck I got this far ; )

    i am really drawn to this Carmen, for me it has the feel of different timbers and peep holes, i can imagine little birds might be nesting in those dark caverns.

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    Thanks girlfriend! I think there’s a lot hiding in those caverns too, I don’t even want to think about it at the moment… hiho hiho it’s off to paint i go. Will check in later : )

    First thought on seeing it, I don’t know why, was that it looked ‘Spanish’. Very impressive.

  • Damien Venditti

    Damien Venditti

    glad i got the pleasure of seeing the artist at work on this one
    all that glazing paid off beautifully, awesome work

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    hehe – wanna buy it? Nah, seriously, it was good having your company when I was painting it. What do you think about the line at the bottom, did it ruin it? Oh, and although we aren’t painting together today, we can still organise to catch up to paint… just not Monday’s or Tuesdays!

  • Damien Venditti

    Damien Venditti

    i loved the dark background at the bottom, as you know ….... but the little bit of gold you left and the line you added work really well …...... then the top glaze section is awesome …..... for me those sections work on there own, but really add to brilliant centre flow of creation

    you know when i get money i’ll buy a few : ) ..... no joking there

    Outstanding as usual Carmen. I love how the yellow interacts with the purples and dark blues.

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    Thanks Ant! You’d probably like it in real life too – it’s a nice big bold rich painting

    I feel really drawn to this but dont know why there are many things that it might be. But I think its the rich, elegant colours you have used and which combine so well.

    Actually the longer I look at it the more uplifting I feel.

    Excellent work!

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    Hi Peter, Thank you for all your comments… I see you had a good squizzy at my portfolio and it seems you quite like some of my earlier stuff. I’ve been experimenting a lot lately, but general consensus seems to be a preference toward my figurative work and some of the landscapes. This is really going to help me in regards to prep for my exhibition… which I am thinking of calling “Who Am I?” with a focus on landscapes of the mind and the archetypes. Phew… One day I’ll learn just to say “Thanks” without adding in a whole essay : ))

  • Peter Evans

    Peter Evans

    lol No problem.
    Stay in touch :-)

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    Thanks Braidy … funny, you commented while I have been putting on the second coat of varnish onto this! I am in 5 upcomming group exhibitions so am using this sunny day to get some work varnished and strung which is a miracle cos I’m normally one of those last minute peep! ; )
