Kind words of encouragement sent to me by well wishers

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 A kind person who wishes to remain anonymous, wrote: The detail in Carole ​C​laude's "doodles" are a smorgasbord of reality, myth, fantasy and colour that gives thought and alternative interpretations to those with a creative imagination.
Heather M a young digital artist specialising in fantasy creatures and 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. June S 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.
The main character dominates because of size. Her hand is next, as it's central, lighter and cupped. The plant takes the eye upwards, and continues with the mountain, also pointing upwards. Then reality shifts. The fire serpent eating its own tail breaks the flow, as nothing is 'pointing' to it, nor is it relevant to its neighbours, nor is it linked to anything. Then there's a dove that takes the eye off the page altogether....but I know there's more, so the eye returns. The next foray into the picture is naturally the small hill, with trees. Technically, the trees stop the eye from following the the slope of the hill, so, once again, the eye stops. Next, the eye jumps in and hits a camel, and this is where my mind gives up and forces my eye to jump all over on a delightful journey of random discoveries. Turtles, Dinosaurs and whales. Where did that elephant spring from? There's a heart on the mountain. No, it’s a parrot. No, it’s a heart/parrot. And a bird in the woman's scarf, no, not a scarf, water.
Your art shouldn't work. But it does, and very, very well at that. Take Natures Nature, But…
Then the magic starts. I'm now doing a 'where's Waldo' to see if I can find more hidden details and I end up seeing every dot, line and scratch on every square millimetre of the paper - Chris M.

World Changer Carole Claude T. Shares Excerpts From Her Enlightening Ebook By Renee Phillips Carole Claude T. is an artist and writer whose quintessential artistic style embraces her powerful intuition and her innate talent as an imaginative storyteller. Her narratives comprise insights about the universe, spirituality, human experience, and nature. Her symbolic characters encompass messages about religion, literature, fables, allegory, and beguiling musings. You can read an Art Review I wrote here. Carole, who lives in Australia, is also an author, writing under the name C.C. Saint-Clair. Her writings are in alignment with her artistic vision. Carole Claude T. is a World Changer and Modern Sage Carole as an important modern sage whose enlightening art and writings serve as catalysts for positive change now and will continue to inspire future generations. It is an honor and pleasure to announce I have inducted Carole into our “World Changers” series. The many reasons include her contributions to humanity, waking us up from our frequent states of slumber and apathy, and selfish, narrow-minded beliefs and behavior. Through our series of “World Changers” I hope readers will be inspired by such extraordinary people like Carole to also find ways to contribute to positive change in the world.

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 Maurine W 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. Sally R 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.
