Are We There Yet
(Uploaded especially for my new friend Mike Scholl. You must check out his work – brilliant!)
75×100 x 3.8cm Acrylic on Canvas.
There is an exhibition coming up and I have been asked to submit 8 pieces of figurative work. I thought I had completed this last September but it’s just bugged me!
Anyway last week I decided to work on it again. So, originally we had this (rather unattractive boring red head) 
and with a few alterations we now have this much more friendly gal.

Carisma
And she looks “hot” rather than spinsterish ! What a good fun piece!!!
Carmen Cilliers replied
HAHA – Yes, she was most unattractive. I guess that’s the thing with art, you know when you are on to something, but sometimes it takes a long time to get there. I’m having one of those days today… going through work and finishing up things I haven’t been happy with or have been too lazy to do the final touches on. There will probably be a bombardment from me shortly! XX

Wow Carmen. I so love it!
An explosion of colour and fun. I can see myself under one umbrella right there above her head… Well done, my friend.
Carmen Cilliers replied
Haha – good on you – enjoy!
