The Happy Eccentric by Carmen Cilliers
My intention when I did this painting was to take an everyday situation – like looking out for the post-man and turning it into a vibrant and alive moment in time!
No matter how small and trivial things may seem – there is always something else going on: one just has to take a look at that poor fish! I lik this painting, my friends say it makes them feel like “…putting on their dancing shoes!”
(It’s a frustrating fact, but for some reason this painting just won’t upload to the right proportions – it’s living it’s title to the full – and just NOT conforming!)
Please visit my blog for more of my artwork or for inquiries on original paintings if I still have them available.

Stunning!
Thank you – it’s better in real life. If I had found this site before then I probably would not have sold the original!
She looks so happy… she probably is waiting for a letter from her lover… :) or a big check… :)
beautiful style, very creative love it!
Vibrant and alive! Except for the fish!
Does the fish look just worried and sad – or does it need more work on the paint side?
I love getting feedback from other artists – thank you guys, it’s soooooo appreciated!
I was just having a blonde moment I think! I tought he was lying on his side ! You know ‘dead’ , but looking at it again… I realise he looks alive and as vibrant as the rest of the painting! Sorry Carmen I think I need glasses!
Not at all Miss Milly – actually he was the most difficult part of the painting!
THANK YOU! WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
I’d say you achieved your intent! :D
Love the interplay between cat & fish.
