Mixed Medium On Canvas

Mixed Medium on canvas… approx A3 in size. Hi everyone, I did this, this afternoon, it took me an hour, exploring with mixed medium. Inspired by Billylee and her print making… so incorporated some printing, water colour, collage and inks… Probably something I should varnish… but if it’s framed behind glass not sure if I’ll risk it. Have no idea what it should be titled so maybe you can help me … I have been part of RB since mid October and never had a work on the featured pages… could this be it? Looking forward to your comments and feedback, I know it’s not my usual style, but / hopefully someone out there likes it!

As some of you know I am having a bit of a pre new-year overhall today. I found this among some of my work. I thought I would share it. It’s very rare, because I only did about 3 artworks between 1997 and 2006 (LOL – seriously)! This work was done in mixed medium and happened when a friend suggested I try get back into creating artwork, so here it is! Needless to say I am very grateful to my friend who got me back into my passion! Thanks Shaun.

This painting is inspired by the healing elements provided by mother nature and patterns and textures from around the world. Unfortunately much of the fine detail and penwork is lost in the photograph, the original work needs to be viewed to really appreciate the beauty and detail. (Perhaps you could take the time to view the larger version..) The painting has been painted using a variety of professional artist quality mediums including water colour, inks, acrylic paint, gold leaf and shellac. Size approx 60×40cm. It seems to make a nice card, not sure about it with a black frame, though…? / although… not too bad framed. Look forward to reading your comments, Thanks as always! X C

This quirky painting is of my cat Zorro and his favourite food, fresh snapper! Acrylic On Canvas, measuring 60×60cm. Just a fun painting I did earlier this year when I first thought that this would be a good time in the year when I made a decision to rekindle and embrace my creativity.

A glimpse into the lives of those who live alone in busy cities. Acrylic on Canvas By Carmen Cilliers. / Painted aprox 6.06.2008

Inspired by the textures of luxury and oppulance this painting has been created using mediums ranging from acrylic, glue, inks, gold leaf, shellac, pastel and layers of various papers. Please view the large version of this painting if you have the time, I believe it shows the details and textures much better. I will be very interested in your comments as this painting presented many hurdles during the process, some mediums just don’t like working together! Pastel is not traditionally varnished, but I have defied tradition! For developement of the painting you can view my journal entry where I have uploaded a few pictures of this work in progress. Now that it is complete I will upload a few more of the stages of developement for those interested, yes BillyLee – I am thinking of you : ) Thanks for viewing and leaving your comments. Carmen : )

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.

Pastel On Board – Approximate size 65×45 cm. 12.12.2007 Dabbling with pastels again… wow, alot more challenging than paint! Oops, I just remembered, this is the finished version of ‘untitled’ which has been loitering my pages for the past two weeks. Below is the previous unfinished work which received overwhelming support – thought I would post it for those of you who wanted to compare or couldn’t remember… /

Acrylic On Canvas Abstract Expressionism. Spare a thought for the loner; the soul ghosting the planet. / Your time is the biggest gift of all. I have (after uploading and consideration) decided this is not finished. I wish it was, but I got quite emotional painting it. I remember years of feeling like this, having no one, not connecting with anyone, feelings of worthlessness compounding my situation. After all, who likes to admit that they are suffering from loneliness. / I don’t feel this way anymore, I am one of the lucky ones who finally learnt and accepted the value of another’s kindness as not being a weakness to accept, but rather a gift, because as we know, the gift is in receiving graciously as well as giving. / So, please, although I would like to do more work on this, I think it appropriate at this time of the year that we all extend our hearts and arms to those around us who may be feeling like this. Maybe a single person at work whose family live so far away. Have you asked them what they are doing for Christmas? Maybe the person on the street with no shoes. It doesn’t cost much to give them some, or a new blanket, maybe even a hot meal from a local take-away. The thing that helps is just knowing someone cares, and that it’s ok to accept their gift, for one day it will be returned.

(Photograph) Tulips, so strikingly simple in design. So strong, yet a whisper of breeze and their petals fall.

Ok… so I decided to work on an abstract I am more comfortable with. Unlike my last entry this is a representational abstract, acrylic on canvas, size is approx / 78cm x 62cm. Enjoy, smile and leave your feedback. Oh, one last thing, the detail of paint layering is totally lost in this digital image, but isn’t it always? Carms. x
