I have fallen deeply, passionately and hopelessly in love with your impasto! Her hair is divine and I am in awe! Bravo!!
ReplyDeletePinturas maravilhosas!
ReplyDeleteCornelia, your work is SUBLIME. You must email me about pricing etc. because I would love to have a piece in our new home. I love seeing you in your self-portraits and that you model in some of your others, like the tooth fairy, as well. Unbelievable skill and talent, but then I knew that already. Congratulations on your mastery in this most passionate life pursuit, you beautiful painter.
ReplyDeleteToo bizarre that in the same day I came across your blog, purely by accident (through Peintures de Paris), that I should also see a piece of yours, featured on Women Painting Women. Synchronicity, and an instant follow. Your work is beautiful, Cornelia. The only mystery...why did it take me so long to find your blog?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Cornelia. Love the choice of a black backgound, it really makes the hair and the figure stand out and glow.
