    gorgeous… simply wonderful… i really love the colors and the country scene…

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Adam, am really thrilled you like her. Thanks so much. This is a little different, although still got the girl in the frame…but playing around with a bit of a country scene/feel…i think dad inspired me, we were talking about trees and he reckons i should try more country scenes….dad paints lovely country scenes in oils and acrylics :)

    another gorgeous addition to your new series.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thank you so much sweet Pippy! :) xxxx

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    Do you use a wacom tablet to colour? I would assume you would… I can’t imagine you doing all that work with a mouse?
    Pen Mouse’s are fantastic… I have to upgrade mine as I’ve worn it out :D

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Hiya Pippy, nooo, i don’t have a Wacom…i gave it a whirl once and couldn’t get used to it. I do the colouring with digital brushes and the mouse, but the main drawing is done first, so that is really the crux of it…having the hand drawing done and shaded completely :) thank you so much for the lovely comments! ps I don’t have a pen mouse, just a cumbersome normal kinda one :)

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    It took me a couple of days to get used to my wacom pen mouse… because it’s a new way of having to navigate. But once I did… I was very glad I perserved. I just use a pen mouse constanly now… not just to draw or use photoshop… for everything on the computer.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    yeah you’re right Pip, probably didn’t spend enough time with it, but i borrowed it, so had to give it back :)
    maybe have to try again sometime :)

    catherine walker

    you have a cult following karin ..and I’m one of the members..hhha!!

    she is so gorgeous..what to say ..wonderful expression..such a darling little lady!!!

    and did I tell you that most of t your painted girls look a lot like you to me
    they really do..!..I think they are all you ..in all your different facets..like a beautiful diamond

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    lol, thank you cathy!!
    maybe they are all me, my sis Missy would always say this, and the same about another artist friend of hers, and i didn’t like her saying it, because i couldn’t see the resemblance, but now i do see it, and at least i am conscious or consciously putting myself into them, regardless of race or colour….it’s a weird thing, but i believe it’s a common thing with artists? have you heard that before? do you put yourself into your paintings too catherine? they have a spiritual depth to them, is that your search I wonder? :) xx

  • lacitrouille

    What a sweet lookingchild, love those big innocent eyes of hers! Is she a fairy and those are wings behind her back? :D

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    i think she’s just wearing some fairy wings, but she could be a fairy…but really i drew her as a girl dressing up as a fairy …. she’s a little aboriginal girl in the outback of Australia…. altho she doesn’t have much, she’s happy out and about in the natural world with the animals she calls her friends :) thank you so much Ellen :) xx

  • Natsky

    Natsky

    Seems like there are a lot of people with amazing taste…Binda is pretty popular Karin! Still trying to work out why she reminds me of me…been looking at her for 5 mins now…maybe it’s the tomboy in jeans thing…not sure…except that she is gorgeous.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    i think there’s something of you in her expression and her eyes perhaps Natsky :) and maybe her stance and jeans…it’s so cool you can see yourself in her….you know what I think…...that everyone i see and think is special in sme way gets into the paintings lol…as well as myself…it’s like we’re all conjoined somehow within it :) x

  • Natsky

    Natsky

    She seems firmly planted and ready to face what the world has to offer too!
    Being a part of your artwork is a special thing…I am honoured and feel all gooey inside. Thank you for the treasure that it represents. Big hugs…

  • catherine walker

    catherine walker

    Hi again Karin, you know that’s why I mentioned it to you..
    because others have said that I put myself into my own paintings..
    and I could never see it..hha! I said that’s not me…hha!!
    I thought some of my women had nothing in common with me

    then I looked at the settings ..not so much the bodies and the faces themselves
    ..and I could see why they said that …
    In your case..it’s even more obvious to me..the faces are aso gorgeous and a
    lot of You coming through each face…
    wow..I some of the faces I paint are so OFF ..so to speak..that it’s insulting to think they are me
    but your faces seem to have so much wonder and love
    that it’s a great compliment to you .

    xxxxooo

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    I love your women cathy, what you say is how I senses this journey within you comes right out in your art, something deeply spiritual and perfumed with this delightful aroma, something of the east combine with the west and
    Your childhood, something of dreamings and musings from both past and future emanate through your work to me..when k view then I sense a tenderness and a gentleness that is full of sweetness and genuity, something to be treasured, I view your works like I am sitting down to enjoy a sumptuous feast and they never disappoint, always they are enthralling, and you provide so much for the viewer to feast upon, colour and detail!! Simply sumptuous :)))) xxx
