Dear Carla: This is an amazing painting. You have depicted both the beauty of Planet Earth, and the Brutality of Man. Edvard Munch would certainly recognize your "Scream." Fantastic work! Your paintings have deep symbolic content, which makes them that much more valuable. Congratulations! Five-Stars! CED

WOW..such vibrance in emmotion..nice to see them work together..also i once heard along the path of finding myself as an artist....to find the
"awe" in your own work..is to find yourself as an artist.(of course this is paraphrased)

This is an extremely meaningful piece! It captures the worlds suffering so well and also those of us.. who choose to ignore it. The one hand is reaching out and the other.. seemingly covering his ears. The perfect statement, of our increasingly sad world. Very well done!! :D

Thanks Thea, glad you see it...the conflict between seeing and doing is ever present, especially in a society where the holes are so large they seem impossible to fill...

We can all do our part however small and the holes will slowly be filled. Hugs, Thea :D

I love your painting. The first painting that I fell in love with was Munch's "The Scream" and I really like your "interpretation". The colours and the energy are awesome. Pear (accepted)

I love the contrast of serenity in the background with the hopelessness and desperation in the foreground; coupled with the innocence of the child ... brilliant piece.

Love your interpretation of the Scream, more cheerful than Munch is one. Mike

Thanks Mike, I started off feeling down and finished off with this bright version, must be this bright yellow African sun as opposed to grey Norwegian light ;-D

Artist Statement
for Carla

South Africa

Painting and creating art helps me find stillness. Often I see my ego speaking through my work, which is something I'm trying to minimize! It's during the times when my mind is still and I get completely absorbed in the moment, that I see glimpses of something beautiful in my work. I hope to find many such moments!
