Separated.
“Like a dead weight we are held seperate by circumstance.”
This painting is about feeling homesick, missing Cape Town, Table Mountain, Family and Friends whom some I have found and some who remain long lost.

Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago
Thanks everyone. Yes, I like the flow too Craig. I was talking about going back to Cape Town today for a holiday… and then painted this. If you know Cape Town you may be able to spot Table Mountain in this painting. : )

Hey Carmen, how could we not notice, do I see a Australia down there and the ocean, then that must be your native countyr. Its coll, so many symbols in there, and I see love and mountains and postcards and…......a key and ….sun….and tell me if Ive missed anything. Its a great symbolic painting.

LostBoy1, about 1 year ago
I like the blue being the most…with the out stretched neck to see but no legs to transport…very deep :)
Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago
Hey Lost boy – now you have me re-thinking my whole painting… there is a very long arm, and most definitely some legs! No neck but.
Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago
But I see what you mean.. it looks like it is looking down over everything. Maybe it has two heads?
LostBoy1, about 1 year ago
I thought yes legs but not joined…hmmm…not very good at interpretations…I see the heart :)

marco britti, about 1 year ago
Love this one,so gentle and yet warm,Miro.ish I would say!?
Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago
Thank You Marco – I love his work. I suppose you are right, it’s a shame that so much gets distorted in the digital upload. This painting is far nicer in reality. (colours much richer)
lacitrouille, about 1 year ago
What a stunning composition with wild colours. It’s excellent.
Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago
Lacitroille – I am very flattered, thank you so much!

wonderful piece Carmen! I love all the colours
Carmen Cilliers, about 1 year ago
THANKS LU – it was so enjoyable to paint. I wouldn’t mind doing a series of them, but seems everyone prefers stuff like “Waiting Patiently”, not that I mind, just want to develope this sort of thing.
Ellen, about 1 year ago

ive looked at this for so long…and i love art like that, something that you have to take time to appreciate, there is so much to descover in this, brilliant combination of abstracts, and colour and humour of the faces at the back
