While, at first blush, this comes across as primarily abstract; it is not. I love the sense of flowers, the splashes of color, and the wonderful textures. You’ve a ton of talent, Carmen! Keep up the great work!
I also want to commend you for your obvious dedication in your other life as a care-giver. Thank God, for wonderful, compassionate human beings like you; I have a tremendous amount of appreciation and empathy for you and your coworkers. My younger sister is mentally-handicapped and lives in a small group home, and it is terrific people like you who love and take care of her day in and day out! Thank you! Cheers! Chris
Carmen Cilliers
Chris in all respects you are giving me a big head! Only joking although it needs to grow to accommodate the smile on my face – the one you just gave me!
Seth Weaver
Jackson Pollock LIVES! This reminds me of his work.
Carmen Cilliers
Seth thank you for all your comments and compliments. Have you seen the movie Pollock? I hope I am nicer than him, but wow – he had the most amazing car. If you haven’t yet seen it it’s time to make the time : )
George Woodcock

Mike Emmett

craig smith

Carmen Cilliers
Thank you Craig – I am so glad I could add to your inspiration! : )
Kathie Nichols
Wow, this hooked me in right away, must be the textures, which I love, has a sort of wildness about it! Awesome Carmen!
Greg Francis
I love your acrylic work , Id love to run my hands over them…...um is that wierd…dont mean to be, its just the paint is so lovely and thick on the canvas….ok Ill stop now.
Carmen Cilliers
Greg… a bit sensual… but then again, it is a sensual painting.
Greg Francis
Exactly , and Im the same way with food , I think its the sculptor in me that wants to touch / feel art works . One of my most memorable days was a few years ago when a Dali exibition came to Melbourne & was blown away when I realised you could touch his bigger sculptures, it was like having a direct link to Dali himself or maybe Im just a sick bunny with a fetish for paint and bronze. Its a fine line sometimes LOL
Carmen Cilliers
I know what you mean about Dali – I have been to his gallery in Figure’s (Spain) twice, he is awe inspiring!
JennyDean
Fantastic, just love this
Amy-lee Foley

Carmen how you do Silver Foil on canvas. I like it, it looks vibrant and makes you want to dance…its got so much movement and music in it. Lots of energy, just like you!
Dylan Cotton (...
I like this one too, nature illuminated beautifully.
Carmen Cilliers
Wow guys! Thanks everyone for your comments. I should do more of this type of thing, it’s messy though and drying time… let’s not go there! I am regretting selling the original, I think it was a measly hundred bucks on ebay… haven’t listed there for a while, think I am going to hold onto paintings and save them for an exhibition instead. Thanks again for all your support and feedback. As Claudia says – “Love and Light” to all of you!
ktowers

Anthony Mancuso
this is great Carmen, I really like this. Colours and overall comp are fantastic
Carmen Cilliers replied
Thank You! Actually, I haven’t looked at this for ages and unfortunately sold the original way too cheaply. I should probably do some more of this type of thing, it’s been a while since i went totally ape shit on a canvas! Your comment is really appreciated, it’s always good to look at ones own work through fresh eyes. Thank you (and all those commentators before you too) : ) x
Anthony Mancuso
It’s always the way, selling them way too cheap!!! You have a real talent and yes, you should do more of this type! It’s an excellent image!!
Carmen Cilliers replied
Thanks your motivation is priceless – i will! Next week after my 4 day module this weekend for my art therapy… and i’ll post it just for you and you can title it. : )
Anthony Mancuso
Oh, thank you very much Carmen, really appreciate it. I hope I will do it justice!! :))
KEITH R. WILL...
ver nice work
mattman
Damn this is well done.
Gives grunt to floral arrangements…
I love that despite the subject no one dare call this a still life.
Carmen Cilliers replied
Thanks! it was a pleasure to paint/splat! And yea, I think I have one “flower still-life” although in saying that everything I paint is from imagination or the subconscious when I really let go :)
NAPaul
this is fabulous, the colours are brilliant
kathibook

Carmen Cilliers
Wow – 1307 views, and 43 favouritings. This is the winner so far out of all my work as far as views and favouritings go. How do people go getting 10,000 views… just wondering – wow, that would be something!
