Hi Carlos, and thank you very much :D

Hi frozenfa, yes this is a more recent piece…..I did paint it during some soul searching and it is very reflective of what I discovered….definitely a bit darker this one :D I wrote the poem to go with the mood of the piece…I wanted to make a statement…I’m fairly quietly spoken, but words cut very deep, and it is becoming more important to me that I express myself a bit more in my work. K:D

Hi Alyson, nice to hear from you, thank you very much! :D

thanks so much pinky :)

oh, thanks so much :)
this is more of my recent style, what you can see in my homepage at the moment….this year’s offerings :) i’m so glad you think well of it :)

thank you very much Fiona,
your comments are greatly appreciated :)

ha, thank you…..i’m glad you think it’s good!!

thank you so much karen, i put this one on a while ago, probably before we were aware of one another :) I had such vision about this painting for a long time before i did it…the colours which were a mixture of reds and deep pinks combine with gold and bronze paint really gave the background a glorious almost velveteen texture….i still delight to look at it…i’m longing to have it framed and mounted on the wall….it is yet to be displayed anywhere….there are many parts of me in it….the look of me when i was little, and a bit of likeness to my nieces who are half indonesian…the chooks we had, and the fact i wish more people looked beyond exteriors into the interior of a person before passing judgement…i found on rb, that i express my true self and am accepted moreso than in real life, where i appear to be bumbling in the exterior….and a person of extremes…it is so nice to be accepted…my husband said today, upon reading some of the comments that i’ve received…that is so wonderful because the ‘real’ Karin is getting across and people responding to that is a moving experience for me :)

thank you very much Antanas! ;)

thank you!

lol, good question…i haven’t figured it out yet….she has this look on her face which i find hard to describe…it could be construed as a number of things, defiance, contempt, warmth, don’t mess with me…i just dunno…a lot of emotion was coming through while i was involved with this painting :) i think the chook is her ally though :)

lol!!

thank you so much Cheri, for looking at my art….it is such a great encouragement to me that you took time to look at my website,
i feel honoured that you did :)

thank you very much Gloria…i hope you get to see her some more soon :D

hi!! :D
thx so much…i am so happy you like this one !!
hugs, Karin xo

thx so much Angel :)

this one’s very dear to my heart, i’m glad you can see why ;)

thanx so much Pip, don’t feel sad, feel happy! :)
I do…..when people meet me in person first, i think they never really know the real me….it’s good to have met me online first…because i am a bit shy in r/l (real life) and who i am doesn’t show through as well …. online i get to type my heart out…it’s much harder to speak it in person…. hugs…. xoxo
