This is better than Georgia O'Keefe! I really like the way you combine various elements to achieve a realistic, 3D affect. Your work is so interesting.

Artist Reply: Better than Georgia O'Keefe?!! Wow, that is a compliment! I need it right now, had a break from painting cos I moved and now it's just not happening, all very frustrating, grrrrr. Thanks for your comment. Take care.

Gorgeous work, Cathy and congrats on being featured! Well deserved!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks Anne. I had no idea!! I put three new images on today and was wondering why people were commenting on the iris more than those! Now I understand! Funnily enough, I also got featured on RedBubble today! I think I'm having a good day. Kind regards. Cathy

Cathy - I love the tactile element of your stuff [that is evident even on screen] and the quality of light in this work in particular. Quite stunning!

Artist Reply: Thanks Stewart. It's difficult to show the texture in photos but I hope the descriptions help people to visualise and imagine. Light is something I struggle with so for you to have made that comment has made my day! Keep up the good work. Regards. Cathy

Wow; perfection. This is better than the real thing.

Artist Reply: Thank you Robin. I'm not sure about it being better than the real thing though, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Lisa Messa 18 May 2007

Absolutely amazing! Initially thought it was a photograph when I saw the thumbnail and was soooo impressed by the image, textures, use of material, everything! Fantastic and beautiful!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Lisa for your very kind comments. My paintings do look very different in reality. They are very tactile and most people want to touch them. It's also about optical illusion though and from afar, they look just like ordinary paintings. I love the surprise people have when they get close and realise there's texture. Glad you like them.

Dawn Hill 17 May 2007

I just love what you do - you are very talented and very clever too

Artist Reply: Thank you Dawn, praise indeed. I strive to be able to paint like you! I may be creative, but my painting skills need to be worked on. Looking at your works was very inspiring. Cathy
