Dear Carolyn,
I have just been looking at your site. Your paintings are beautiful, I especially loved the abstracts, embryo, clay into spirit, neptunes playground, vissitudes, soul grotto and reflection of reality. Your use of colour and your imagination are amazing, I love the way the colours mix and mingle and there is so much to look at and I love the way you paint birds. I took up painting last year as a hobby and a local gallery have just put a couple of them up but mine are rubbish compared with yours (That sounds sycophantic and it isn’t, I just know my own limitations!!!). I would love to buy some of the cards (so I can admire the paintings better- the internet is not the ideal medium for art viewing and also cards in the uk for any occasion tend to have an ‘amusing’ grey bear on them – no matter what the occasion, there is one with a grey bear on, unfortunately the whole uk is becoming a shade of corporate grey/beige). Do you ship cards to the uk?
PS: Any tips on how to get the kind of mottled many colour background effect would be gratefully received, I use oils and have read about building up colour washes but the long time they take to dry and my impatience tends to put pay to that, also yours are much more delicate and intricate – thats the sort of thing I see in my head, but when I paint it, it looks clumsy more like the work of a small child!!
Look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Kindest regards
Amanda
