    You are the sweetheart of art~~~I love your work~~you are a true artist. I am 65 and used to paint with oils, but have not picked up a brush in years. I discovered acrylics and watched and learned for a year, all abstract. I have done a few, I sucked, but getting better. I love it~~~~as it is good for the soul when you lose loved ones. I am glad I found you today and by watching you~~I have never been this inspired. Bless your precious heart for sharing and warm greetings from Canada.

    An artist who is down to earth and unpretentious. Looks like she just has a great time creating. So much for the "tortured artist". So happy to have discovered Doreen and her work.

    I have felt more and more shutdown as I’ve grown older. I have some physical issues that contrived to make me really feel my age. So frustrating.
    But Doreen you have taught me that freedom can still exist despite older age; I love the fluidity and immediacy of your work.

    I have finally met my 'soul mate in art'....Doreen your work is wonderful but most of all how you feel about why you paint like you do has given me such permission so to say. Love your use and feeling for colour and your freedom. The Colour in Your Life series has opened up so much to me - it is so 'real'... you do a wonderful job Graham and your team.

    Doreen, you are absolutely amazing. I am myself a self taught artist who for many years could not take the time to paint so that I could raise my family. Now that the kids are grown I am back to painting. I came back doing abstract art, something I have never done before. I found it to be quite more challenging than I had anticipated. Watching you here has really opened my eyes to what abstract really is about. You take it as it comes and you work with what you have. Thank you for the doing this video and thank you Graeme as well

    As a retired art teacher/lecturer who taught in all mediums without exception. One thing I have noticed in all abstract painter and that includes myself, all artists have this gift within them even if they have not experimented with it. We can all thank one man who was probably the very first abstract painter and that is the great British artist Turner, go look at his wonderful work and you will see instantly how we have all benefited from this great man, he was well before all the impressionists and expressionists, yes you do have the equally wonderful Rembrandt, but for the abstract its Turner.

    • @LovedayM-F
      @LovedayM-F 11 месяцев назад +1

      I forgot to say that Doreen’s work that is splendid, I can see the same wonderful colours, movement and passion of Turner in her work which is good in a way because this is possibly how Turner worked. I🎉 am an english woman who lives in the uk and spent 20 years working in one of the most famous art galleries in the world and would often spend time looking at Turners work, often sitting just sketching the movements in his work. One can learn a great deal from studying the work of a great artists, but ultimately developing your own style.

    • @LovedayM-F
      @LovedayM-F 11 месяцев назад

      Oh this is a hoot, well pleased I was right in surmising that I recognised some influence of Turner, I had not watched this video I had seen another video of Doreen’s work that was where I realised the connection to Turner, had just started watching this video and there it was, the chap in the video asked Doreen who had influenced her in her work, starting with ..’ I know that Turner was an influence so who else was?
