Gabrielle B very kindly took the time to write:
Carole Claude’s ‘doodles’ cover a wide variety of subjects -
sometimes an obvious singular theme - but many of Carole
Claude's Doodles feature an interesting assortment of human
and/or animal figures and inanimate objects. This can
encourage the viewer of such a collage to find a connection
between the images, using their own imagination to find a little
story, without use of the written word. It's an intriguing concept,
and presents another facet of Carole Claude's talent.
Her use of vibrant harmonious colours, outlined in fine black,
brings great definition and detail to every image in the scene. I
could describe Carole Claude's art as "timeless" - some of it
depicting images from a bygone era - fair damsels, gilded cages,
ancient gardens, mythical creatures, old ships in full sail on
windy seas, even scenes from biblical times. Some of Carole
Claude's Doodles feature a furry-faced cute little canine - his
image forming part of a wordless picture-puzzle story
Whatever the subject matter, Carole Claude's Doodles are
always visually interesting and pleasing to the eye. My words
cannot do justice to the imaginative talents of the Artist, Carole
Claude.
Trevor W a well respected local artist and colleague, was
gracious enough to say:
Carole’s doodles are very imaginative. She has a rare talent and
is able to express herself is a very abstract way

I am a botanical artist of many years but Carole Claude’s flowers
in ‘Lucid Mind-Meanders’ blending so well with the suggestion of
something deeply mystical truly captured my imagination.
The little dog in ‘Oscar Mirror Prince’ is very cute, and if you look
deeper, there is so much to discover and ponder amongst the
‘crazee doodles’ that surround him.
Vibrant colours are also a trademark of Carole Claude’s work
that I enjoy very much.

The detail in Carole Claude T's "doodles" are a smorgasbord of
reality, myth, fantasy and colour that gives thought and
alternative interpretations to those with a creative imagination.
Luciana C A wonderful comment left for me on Instagram:
I think there is a lot of mystery in the creation process...how some
white paper and some pencils can be magically combined into a
wonderful work of art?
Carole Claude's doodles, which she called 'crazee', have the power to
take us to another dimension of life, it's a kind of dive into deep,
colorful waters where you find many shapes where one gives rise to
another and so on.
And if you leave the chaos around you and take time to appreciate it
you can discover new things each time and connect with yourself in
different ways. Maybe because that can be a healing process…
And when you read about her journey and the process - where her
dad and her mom are there supporting and inspiring her arts…it is
just meaningful!
Congratulations Carole Claude and thank you for your generosity in
sharing your art and bringing more colours to our world

hybrid humanoids for the gaming and tattooing industry:
The process I go through to create a new character is littered
with edits, erasures, remakes and many muttered ‘nopes’. For
Carole to ‘just let go and see what happens’ leaves me
astounded…and more than a little envious.

As a successful artist exhibiting in many galleries and
exhibitions, I have seldom seen drawing as imaginative and
creative as Carole Claude's. Her work draws the viewers into
another world as well as evoking respect and awe at her skills. I
especially enjoyed her 'All Eyes On' and 'When Soul Cries.'
Chris M whose skills are in graphic design, has made several kind
comments:
Not being an artist, I can only comment on how I like Carole’s
flowing style and colours. Whether trying to interpret a meaning,
or just becoming lost in the seemingly endless details, Carole’s
artwork has a great appeal for me.
