Life Saving Trials (at City Beach Perth)
Ok… so I decided to work on an abstract I am more comfortable with. Unlike my last entry this is a representational abstract, acrylic on canvas, size is approx
78cm x 62cm.
Enjoy, smile and leave your feedback.
Oh, one last thing, the detail of paint layering is totally lost in this digital image, but isn’t it always?

gorgeous Carmen.Just love their sunkissed skin tones and sunny day smiles.
Carmen Cilliers
It’s very quirky, much better in real life, it loses all it’s depth when photographed, there are about 6 layers in this painting and you simply don’t see it on the internet. My favourite has to be the dog… can you see the resemblance to my greyhound… no, that’s ok, I am no picasso LOL!
Karin Taylor

love this one.. the dog makes it for me… this has sort of a rin tin tin meets baywatch feel to it… but why do I get the feeling they are all smiling as they watch me drown?
Silvia Manuela
Unique, yes the dog is exceptional.

Love it Carmen! – The way they seem to be looking out of frame along the beach just invites different interpretations. – (Look at that silly b….....d drowning…..he’ll have to wait, we’re having our portrait painted) ..............dog says; (No f….......g way I’m going back in that water)
Brilliant work – well done Carmen!!...............x

Bold and different as always. Its beautiful carmen. Some interesting details on the doggy leave no doubt of its gender… very funny.
Paul Gibbons
You should make the dog into a t-shirt he is awesome! In fact make the whole thing into a t-shirt! I would wear it at the beach… Fantastic work.
