When this popped up on my Bubble it didn’t say who did it, but I just thought “Wow!”
It’s so good I should have guessed it was yours!

Arletta
Very cute!
I don’t know why your images keep showing up under things I might have missed from my watchlist. Must be another lovely glitch. But, I shan’t complain too much, as I always have enjoyed your artwork.

It’s bringing tears to my eyes sweetie…Those huge eyes that both have, the tenderness and caring, which you are so good ar expressing. The rabbit is a darling of course. i love her yearn hair and shawl. :)
Janis Zroback
I agree…she is your best so far…you will go down in history as the painter of those liquid eyes…your originals should be for sale too…
Natsky
She is adorable and rabbit reminds me of Watership Down.
All the combined elements here are amazing; texture, composition, colour, shape (immediate heart recognition), details and your beautiful eyes again. Lovin’ your work Karin…hope the bed stays comfy and it keeps coming!

Colin Cartwright
This is so cute. The bunny is nicely appropriate for this time. and those huge blue eyes, gazing so serenely at us!
And reading your bio – amazing! What I wouldn’t give, to have ancestors like yours, Karin!!!
Karin Taylor
replied
Colin, thank you so much
i feel so happy you like this……
i was so very surprised to learn of my ancestors, that we had one extremely great talent on each side of the family tree, i truly doubted it very much, and put my poor family through the hoops first, before i would accept it……but now i accept and feel so proud of my heritage :)
but really, it’s nothing….just a nice thing to think and feel akin to these people from long ago…i find there are some striking personalities of character when i delve into them…the strong nature of Milton’s staunch belief’s, which differed so much from the traditional and how they got him into so much strife and hot water…his love for poets and the company of such…..and on the other side…the life of John Constable, a rather grumpy and depressed type….a very creative type capable of great things…but i don’t think he ever really knew that or thought of himself in that light ;)
Cathleen Taraw...
So precious, I love this new slant that you’re taking :)
Rhenastarr
I love the big eyes that pull you right in. Charming, magical and down right delightful.

thank you very much, i think these are my best effort with eyes so far, so glad you like this. :)
sandra parker
LOVE this one Karin, it speaks to me…...where do you get your inspiration from, can you look at someone/or photo and come up with a beautiful art like this??
Karin Taylor
replied
such a good question Sandra… and if only I knew, it seems to come from a desire to feel inspired. So it requires a ‘daydream’... i seem to need to allow unspoilt time for ‘daydreaming’... and ‘observation’... like the tree hugger came to me from an afternoon spent at the local pub where this cute little one was trying to climb the biggest pine tree in the universe and looked for all the world to be hugging it… some come like that…very directly, but i can’t say where this girl came from….. there were some very strong influences around the time…. one of them was going to the Craft Fair in Brisbane with my friend Chris and seeing all the gorgeous yarn, scarfs and ponchos….and combine that with my endless desire to perfect eyes and faces and make the most beautiful girl yet…. i guess this has been my quest lately :) thank you so much Sandra, and for asking….. this one has a place very deep in my heart and always will…her eyes speak to me too :) xxx
