  4. You are painting with such confidence ... you have grown immeasurably since I last came to see you. All of your paintings are lovely and, of course, I especially love the owl. I am intrigued by how you can paint those strait whiskers ... mine always have a kink or two in them :) Happy New Year, Silke ...

  13. Wow! I love the feeling of freedom that your gorgeous paintings express. Your use of colors is so vibrant and lively too. I've been wanting to do a video, but keep coming up with excuses, so you've inspired me to just do it. Happy New Year!

  15. Silke, your acrylic paintings are so bright, vivid, and beautiful. Since I do mostly watercolor painting, I was intrigued by your technique, using only 3 colors. I often do that too but I haven't been able to get the intensity that you get. Really beautiful works.

  16. I've watched plenty of videos and can tell you yours is fabulous especially for a first go (or second go, as the case may be;-) You speak clearly and straightforward, your lighting shows everything to advantage, and of course your paintings are so beautiful! I love learning a bit about your process and what paints you are using. The portraits are very good. Do you work from a photo or just go with a flow and what ever face comes out of your imagination? I hope you will continue with more videos. I love your style of painting and am proud to display your work on my wall. Thanks for sharing!

  17. Wunderschöne neue Arbeiten Silke und das Video ist perfekt geworden. Schön mal deine Stimme zu hören und dich bewegt zu sehen. Dein Englisch klingt echt amerikanisch, aber die Aussprache ist so akzentuiert und ohne Slang und Worte zu verschlucken, daß man auch als Nichtamerikaner jedes Wort sauber versteht. Bin gespannt was du aus deinem Bild im Hintergrund hervorzauberst.
    Frohes, gesundes und kreatives Neues Jahr dir und deinen Lieben.
    Liebe Grüße
    Sabine
