Afternoon Shadows

Thanks Wolf! I am really battling with the tones of this, when I upload it the white is coming out too creme… blah blah – you know how it can be. Thanks for looking & commenting : )

Well i love the fact that your using the enviroment around you…wicked colour pallette too!

Thanks for sharing! Wild expression!

Thanks LB & Darrell!

cool ! What a great idea! The result is lovely!

Thanks Miss Milly!

Wow Carmen, I love this….do another one, the interpretation is what I like the best. Doing a realistic painting is hard I know but taking something from your mind and making interpretative art is so much more interesting to me. Its great, I love it…what size is it?

Great idea using the shadows, great work.

Hey Billy – it’s about 110×160cm – really big – at a guess, I can’t find my tape measure.

... and thanks Billy & Paul for your comments : )

lovely work

Love this one Carmen and the title is brilliant too well done

Very good job, Carmen!!!

Lovely , again seeing the unseen.

feels very alive organic
strong too

I wanna step through the gate…...

Enalu – thank you! You are right, it could look like a gate at the bottowm, I hadn’t thought of that before, that’s why this is such an interesting painting. So much of the feeling and texture is lost in this photo!

Fabulous image. Your work is very unique and fabulous

what I see here is a fence with a hill full of snow .. kids playing sliding down the hill

I live in the northern hemisphere lol !

wonderful work as always Carmen!

Thanks Lucinda – and I guess that’s what life is all about … ‘perspective’!

wow amazing construction can see the scene …great to read you description

this looks really good i love it :)

Beautiful

nice piece, i know how inspirational jacaranda trees can be…well done

I really like your minimal approach. But keep on maximize your colors and forms. You are very talented Miss Carmen.

before i read your description this reminded my of my old sycamore tree in the back, and the wooden fence round my garden…then i read youur description…jeez i wasnt far off…brilliant work

This really something very different – I love the colours

Great lines- almost has a Japanese feel to it for me, nice work.

... Not accepted into the minimalism group HA HA! Sorry – I had to laugh, I mean how much more minimalistic can you get when you depict your pergola and the shadows from an overhanging tree. These groups – god, add all the spam they send you and you gotta wonder!!!!

how much more could you minimalise this? ooooooooooh a stick and a bolt in the plastic for the awning. yea, that minimal!

Yea, I’ll try that, thanks for your advice.

I’m always noticing things in everything lol can’t even go to the loo without making out faces in the patterns of the tiles on the floor. It’s a good thing I’m not alone in this. Anyway I think this has a lovely feel to it, very nice work.

Got it in one!! Great perspective!! Great colour! Great painting!
