My friend Cloo and I had an exhibition called "To paint a perfume" in my hometown Meise in October 2007...And now we're asked to do "it" again in another Belgian town, calles Diest. Very strange, because all my family is originary from that town ! Cloo and I are very thrilled, because we have to make new paintings, inspired by new perfumes... We don't paint bottles or so, but we just paint what the name or the fragrance of a famous perfume means to us. It's once again a big challenge ...and we h… Continue

I'm glad that you are v happy with my comments. If you find them insufficient, please kindly let me know, I'll try to give more if you really need.

Cheers.

For your info, I have emailed you my sincere comments of those two works. I gave you a non-biased view. If you want me to put the comments on IGC's comment field, please let me know ......

Cheers.

At 12:46pm on July 11th, 2008, Poh Lai LIM said…: Hi Monika,

Sorry for any inconenience. I just realized that the group IGC has no attaching file/image feature at the moment. I have sent that request to MyGallery.ning.com's Admin Team, hopefully, they will be able to provide the file attachment or downloading file feature for the group soon.

Meanwhile, if you would like me to comment on your works, please either email two images to me at pohlai_arts@yahoo.co.uk or give me two titles of your works which can be found in your profile via the IGC's comment field, I will give my comments via IGC. I realized that by doing that you only get one person's comments. However, when the image downloading feature is available for the group in the future, you can still re-download onto IGC.

Hope we work on the above arrangement for the time beings.

Cheers.

If any of you like my sincere comments for your works, I have created a group called International Group Critics (IGC) on MyGallery.ning.com, please join as members and post your works there for members of IGC to give you their comments. Those of you who are not critics but like to give comments are welcome to join the group.

Cheers.
