Carmen Cilliers replied
Thank you Catherine! x
Kim Grace
Yep, beautiful work, I can see russian icons in this (probably hallucinating), your brushwork is exquisite, how big is the canvas?
Carmen Cilliers replied
Funny you say that because the lady who runs the Vic Park Art Centre wants to buy it and she is Serbian. She said she took one look at it and it really spoke to her. Maybe the title and the fact she has exiled two countries in war with nothing but the clothes on her back and her two daughters. (Amazing person actually.)
I should try upload a bigger version – i think the size is approx 90×70. Funny, half way through I nearly turfed it!

Hello everyone! Thank you all for your kind comments. I don’t check this site often and it is very time consuming to say thanks to each and every response but I do appreciate them all. Thank you very much!

I adore this piece. I think it really does speak to the Serb (I am first generation American) in me too! Wonderful work, you truly captured the folk feeling of the old country.

I like how you combined different styles here: Picasso, Art Nouveaux, Medieval Art Style! Clever techniques! Love it. I can see the gypsy in her too!
Carmen Cilliers
Oi – woo hoo thank you all for these comments and group invites and features on this painting. I had no idea. I get tired of replying back individually – it’s so time confusing and takes me away from my work. I still love leaving comments on all your work though. Thanks my friends :)
danita clark
WOW great vibrancy – it has a an old folky feel to it, a roaming gypsy look yet feels cross cultural and the colours are fab!
Norval Arbogast
