trop beau ,Karin,j aime te sensibilité

Brilliant Work!

Gorgeous! I love how you interpret your memories Karin!! They are such a joy!!

love the smiley button, and all those other special little details that make your work so special :-)

brilliant Karin! oh it’s better than the ones I used to get in my yard! I kid you not!! I used to have bad dreams for years about one or more escaped from the zoo and no matter how much I tried to ring for help none came example the phone wouldn’t work [in the dream] etc .. I did interpret the dreams finally and don’t get them now ! do you know how HARD it is to get an Elle to go home!!

I see now; nice to know where the Tee design came from :)

Wonderful work Karin.

Delightful!

This is just toooo nice, luv your work.

Aw this is so sweet Karin… i know it’s just going to spring to life in colour!!! It’s wonderful that so much of your art comes from little things here & there in your life :)
And in the garden… exactly where Elephants belong!!!

You have such richness in your heritage, you can’t help be be inspired, I reckon! Fabulous work, Karin!

your art leave me speechless dear Karin, so much to take in…..always so very beautiful xxxxx

Your art appeals to the child in us all!

Thanks so much for sending the pic of the topiary teapot – such fun. xxx

Such a sweet image – lovely !!

This picture is absolutely gorgeous… look at the long list of people loving it… I couldn’t help but join in…

Pencil drawing – like pen and ink drawing – is in my mind – showing the shapes
and patterns which are the backbone of the painting. If one looks at the pencil drawings of Disney animators e.g. Bambi or Snow White – or Mickey Mouse in Fantasia – then the pencil drawings show off the skill of the animator a million times more than the finished cartoon film.
I am a ‘detail spotter’ and details that will fade with the intro of colour will be the stitches on the elephants umbrella and the ultra tight curl of hair above her shoulder. To be able to create tones and perspective in a pencil drawing – I would assume is much harder than in a colour work. JUST LOVE IT Karin !!

your drawings are so original and fantastic!

that is just so very precious!!! love it!! ( : xxx

Very sweet! Great drawing!

Ah, this is so cute. Kid’s illustrations, seem really popular – judging by the amount of comments for this genre. Do you ever sell them? Superb drawing, Karin.
And a nice description too. Aw, but it must be heartbreaking when they grow up.

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!! You can see a lot of love went into this piece.

I love the way you color your art but this is also beautiful in sepia.

Karin, your work sings!!

Gorgeous work Karin!! Recently I visited The Hunter Valley Gardens and they had an elephant topiary as well as horses and storks – I just love they way they are perfectly manicured – such craftsmanship! ♥ :o)

Karin, I just love to share in your childhood memories and inspirations- this is adorable and loving work as ever!

wow, dear!! beautiful work karin, is there a color version? this one is gorgeous!!!!!!
