The Happy Eccentric

Thank you – it’s better in real life. If I had found this site before then I probably would not have sold the original!

She looks so happy… she probably is waiting for a letter from her lover… :) or a big check… :)

beautiful style, very creative love it!

Vibrant and alive! Except for the fish!

Does the fish look just worried and sad – or does it need more work on the paint side?
I love getting feedback from other artists – thank you guys, it’s soooooo appreciated!

I was just having a blonde moment I think! I tought he was lying on his side ! You know ‘dead’ , but looking at it again… I realise he looks alive and as vibrant as the rest of the painting! Sorry Carmen I think I need glasses!

Not at all Miss Milly – actually he was the most difficult part of the painting!

THANK YOU! WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

I’d say you achieved your intent! :D

Love the interplay between cat & fish.

Thanks Bluenot! I was actually sorry to sell the original in the end… doubt I would have if I had found redbubble first.

this is beautiful!

This is amazing, I love it so much….its gorgeous. You are so talented. Like the Expressionist you have captured a feeling of vibrancy and emotion!

Oh Billy – thank you! My only regret is that I hadn’t taken a better shot before the buyer collected this piece. It was fun to paint!

Your style is so unique. Playful child-like imagery with vivid alive colors in intricate compositions.

I love your sense of humor - and color - Carmen. Warm & friendly art.

(Let’s give that another shot!)

I love your sense of humor-and color-Carmen. Warm & friendly art.

(giving up… you get the message. :-)

hm fun art all over the place and well done too

I like the interplay of personalities.

I love it! those two little critters are so funny! :) x

Really like this, Carmen. Vibrant, playful, sorta naive and strangely resonant of a suburban Gaugin…which of course is a paradox. Hmm… getting myself into deep water trying to pin it down, which like all good art, it resists.

Hope you got full value when you sold the original.

Great work, very playful and happy feeling.

What an interesting and unique piece of art Carmen. You achieved your goal…and drew in others to view it. That’s success!

Carmen i must say this must be the coolest ever, your cat, it is just to much, i cant stop smiling, love the bluch on her cheeks.

brilliant…love the fish’s expression and the cat just waiting to get it…really humourous and great happy image

Love these small moments – and beautifully done

INCREDIBLE and FUN ! ! ! !

You know, i think you are the most talented ARTIST on here i love your works ,you should be famous and have great skill,i take my hat off to you

Thank you, wow itsallgoodam – you are giving me waaaaaaaaaaay too much credit, but i’ll take it anyway! Awsome comments guys, I really appreciate them!

Beautiful Carmen! Do you ever sleep or eat or is it all paint and bubble?

LOL – actually I sleep, eat, drink, work, study and paint and redbubble! My partner calls me a ‘doer’ and funny enough I consider myself quite lazy. I am trying to do a bit of a clean up today before Christmas, so study/studio and you should see it. So not too much RB and no painting today!

I would say,very playful and experimental,which is good. There is an interesting potential in the tension/subject you introduce with the fish and the cat there.One finds the painting interactive and feeds a lot of possibilities for the imagination-Keep Strong!

Love the vibrancy…. great colors….

very cool i think i can hear her giggling and thoes buldging eyes!!!

What wonderful characters and worlds you create..

Just found your site Carmen. Just love it… all good, but this one is just terrific. Your inspiration is inspirational!

Your painting makes me feel happy. I hope to be more eccentric soon. Thanks carmen

Love your work.
