Pauline,
These are not only beautiful, but outstanding pieces of art. Not only have you captured the emotion and glimpses of tribal life, you have captured and display the spirit and soul of your subjects. Very few remain with this ability, and it is an honor for you to share these pieces with me. Though all are wonderful beyond words, I must say "Turkana Tribal Woman" stands out incredibly. "Cover Girl" and "In an African Market" have a wonderful freedom to them. I must also include the timelessness of "African Madonna" and "Big Brother" as they are both indicators and reminders that mankind can unite to share the very basic love that we all can have and cherish.
You have out done yourself Pauline...you should be very proud and feel satisfied at the great accomplishment your have done. In simple words...
You Go Girl!
Continue to show the world what you see and what you've got.
Sincerely and in awe,
Roger

You have done wonderfully Pauline... It was an honor for you to share these with me.
Your friend,
Roger
Pauline, the variety of ways in which you have painted these, and your skill in portraing these beautiful people has produced a terrific series of paintings... I'm sure they look absolutely stunning face to face
These are all beautiful paintings full of life and charm and the colours have a jewel like quality that is difficult to capture!
A great amount of work and skill showing your great talent.
Thank you for putting these out here were we can see them all together!
Really beautifull works the colours show a jewel like quality and show the vitality of the characters!
Thank you for putting them all in one place for us to view.
A fine example of your work and a credit for all the hard work and skill put into them.
Thanks for the privilege of seeing this preview Pauline, as I scrolled down through them I kept coming across familiar ones from the WC posts and kept thinking that is my favourite one! But in the end could not chose one above the others they are all of such a high standard.
Thanks for bringing back my own wonderful memories of Africa. :)
Have a good trip this time, :wave: Dave
I'm awestruck!!!! This series is so moving viewing it online... I can only imagine how inspiring it would be to see in person. Pauline... a book needs to made from this series... I'm seriuos... the whole world needs to see these paintings. I'm honored to be a close friend to such a talented artist and beautiful (inside and out) person. I wish blessings upon you, Dave, and this series. I'm serious... the world needs to see this.
Omg Pauline, stunning work!!!!!! There are so many that I love. Congrats on selling quite a few of your pieces.
Good luck with the show!!!!!! I am sure you won't need luck though lol!

Hi Pauline.
My name is Carlota and I'm from Portugal.
I find your blog and i follow in love with your paitings. I also paint africans pictures not so perfect like you. :)
Congratulations, and be happy ;) *
It's amazing the way how you captured expressions in your paintings. It almost seems that the models are going to turn around and talk to us. Magnificent colours, a genuine African feeling flows through your work. How do you manage, being so far away???
Excellent work, all the best to you.
These paintings are just too good. they are each one a marvelous work, and I am really impressed.
