    Thanks Termite… I find the time… no I make the time. I make my own living by painting and selling paintings, holding art workshops, and working part time as a creative development assistant with disabled people, yes, I study too, that seems to suffer most… but if you love art, and you love creating, like anything there is a price to pay!

    It has an unnerving double emotion where the figure appears to be doing a dreamy swan dive right out of the picture while the dog has a startled “oh shit, we’re falling” look. Very narrative but I’d expect it to have a pair with just sand and water…a here and gone pair.

    Artstruggle – I had to read your comment twice, but I just figured out what you mean… another painting… same size… just sand and water – easy done! Thanks for the advice I hadn’t thought of that.

    Thanks Mariette!

    You’re so clever Carmen : ) I love this…from the intricate detail in her dress…to the deep blue of the sea. Well done!

    This one is grat because it has movement, it has a story (th dog) and she has a whimsical look. All these things make an interesting piece of art.

    very nice use of colors, cool blues for sky and water ,warm colors for her hair, soft tones for the sand ,which really make her pop, light colors for her dress, which makes the dog pop, well done

    Thank you to everyone for your comments on my painting. I love this painting so it’s wonderful to have others share their appreciation too! It’s on Ebay, so if you feel like splashing out for the original at a mere $89 Australian, then go for it! You should be able to find it if you search under original paintings, cilliers. (or Perth artist cilliers) . Sunday is your last chance ; )

    Carmen, I love this painting… when I lived in Perth my favourite thing to do was eat great Italian takeaway on the dog beach at Freo, while watching the sun set into the Indian Ocean. On hot, hot days I’d watch the Doctor roll in. Such memories!
