Learning From A Child - A city retrospective.


This painting is titled "City Retrospective - Through the eyes of the inner child."

The inspiration for this piece came while I was with a friends son who was drawing and painting along side me. I decided to "take some lessons" from him and observed as he scribbled and drew, painted and let unfold his magical land of houses, lakes and what in the end looked to me like a little village.
Following suite I did the same and the end result is ... "City Retrospective". Although very abstract this painting it is quite remarkable that this painting looks very much like Perth as one would see it from the South Perth Foreshore.

This painting is framed and measures 52 x 72cm(w). Acrylic on Canvas with some silver foil (see bridge). It is bold, modern and no photo that I have taken does it justice!

James - Thank You for this lesson, it goes to show, you never know which easel your next teacher may be hiding behind. Love Carmen.

Hi Carmen, You are quite the artists!.. I enjoyed looking at your work.. I also looked at your Ebay store and the paintings you have listed there.. I like the way you see things... I'm not a sophisticated person and have no idea of what`art really is... But I am sure your work is good, and I like it..... that was meant as a compliment, I hope it came across that way.
