In my words.....

by Amanda Solk

I don't really know what to say about my Artwork, except that I loved creating them and I also loved the end result! This, incidentally, is how I absolutely know beyond any shadow of a doubt, that I am no great artist! True artists are supposed to suffer and never be satisfied with their own work - aren't they? Whereas, I cannot boast of suffering any more than anyone else, and I LOVE my own work!! This is because I just paint what I like - so, I like it! I just adore bright colours. For example, although I love the contours and rich patterns displayed in Aboriginal paintings, I never liked the particular mix of colours which are used. I'm sure this will horrify just about everybody, because these wonderful sacred paintings simply present the natural colours of the landscape. However, I always felt that those wonderful Aboriginal patterns that I admire so much, would really lend themselves to blazing colours, hence : 'Aboriginal Landscapes', and I deeply apologise to any Aboriginal people who are offended by my 'colouring in' their fabulous artworks!

I have nothing to add about any of the other pictures, except I hope that you like 'em as much as me!
