    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

    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!

    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

    Carmen Cilliers

    Greg… a bit sensual… but then again, it is a sensual painting.

  • Greg  Francis

    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

    Carmen Cilliers

    I know what you mean about Dali – I have been to his gallery in Figure’s (Spain) twice, he is awe inspiring!

    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!

    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

    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. : )

    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 :)

    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!
