"Oh Enchanted One"

What is it about polka-dots that so interests me? Let me count the ways: I like simple regular patterns. I like circles. I like 2-color designs. I especially like 2-color designs where the 2 colors are close to each other on the color wheel (ex. red & orange). If I've learned nothing else in my now 2 years of daily painting it is that everyone has very different tastes, AND that it is these differences that make us so fascinating! So I like polka-dots.

I love that you love polka-dots ; -)
Again, Carol, this one is superb!!!!! Someday, I truly hope that I can paint with such a gorgeous flow and looseness as you show in your paintings. If there was one thing you could point to that has helped you with your paintings over the years, what would you say that was? What artist's did/do you admire and influence you the most?
I love polka-dots too. You do them so well, but I also really like the negative shapes around the shadow.
I love the composition and the tonal values, the color's choice... and the dots very much ! I like the abstract look. Superb really.
I love what you're doing with juxtaposition of shapes and viewing your subjects head on. Just beautiful! I'm also loving the current pieces on your web site.
Congratulations on your new home. May the year bring you many blessings.
I like the polka dots too... But what I like best is the way you've captured the essence of these objects... gotten their spirit in an almost abstract way... It is just wonderful... And those petals! -------love 'em.
i love how you are pushing your compositions of late....more things going on......wonderful painting....susan graeber

Beautiful painting - great composition and wonderful rich colors.
Carol, I'm new to your site and absolutely in love with your command of painting. It's also nice to witness the gracious interaction with those who follow you. You're on my fave's list to watch this year!
You know how much I love your polka dots! This must be a new fabric, if I remember correctly they are usually blue. I really love this piece, something about it seems Japanese to me.
Polka Dots YES!!!! And I love Stripes too!! And simple complementary colors.
