    Thanks Ladies – not sure if it is 100% finished yet. I was thinking it might need another layer of glaze, but I’ll see what the responses are first. thanks for commenting!

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    It seems popular. David said it’s an award winning piece (?) personally I find it a bit depressing – but I find all my blue paintings depressing.

    lovely shadow work Carmen!

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    thanks girlfriend… it took a long time, layers and layers… and not the joyful uplifting fun work you do, but everything has it’s place and I am glad (and surprised) at the appreciation I have received for this work. I had thought it might not be finished, but judging from the comments, maybe it is?

    I agree with Sheila… stunning is the word for this one… I think this is one of your best works of art.. I like it very much…

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    You say that every few months LOL! So, when you say that I’ll use the latest painting as my newest benchmark. Thanks for your faithful support – your’e a really cool buddy.

    your tones with blue amaze me as well as getting the feel of your subject matter!

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    Funny, when I paint with blue I never seem to really like that painting, I am so surprised by the reaction this has had, but it goes to show, an artist is not a good critic of their own work sometimes. Thanks for adding me to your w.list – your’e in mine too : )

  • Carmen Cilliers replied

    I am really surprised at how much of a response this one is receiving. I didn’t really like it (blue and depressing) but it’s really starting to take on new value to me thanks to all the feedback.

    This subject has got the Big City Blues. Great blues…I love blue! Please see my “Rainy Day Dreams” it is quite similar to this work. Great minds traveling in the same ravine!
