Hey Moonwillow. I love everything about this. There is an innocent and purity in the use of lovely bright colours, the garden, the little girl in the yellow dress. Stunning. It has such an old world charm.

Magical place. I wish I had a garden like this too!

The composition is lovely and balanced with the tree to the right and the bushes to the left, both items in the foreground and yet they don't detract from the vibrant yellow in the girl's dress, the flowers framing her and the bird. I also notice how you've matched the colours.

Even the suggestion of misty backdrop, as if the garden goes on forever is lovely.

A sweet, innocent sense in this. Nicely done. This is something that would look lovely as a print on block on a child's bedroom wall.

A really sweet composition suggesting the innocence of youth and being at one with nature. Would make a lovely children's book illustration. Nice soft colours.

Magical and sweet. A lovely composition, beautiful light and colour. Good story telling ability, nice contrasts and a good depth of field.

This is such a whimsical picture. I love the great splashes of color and you have captured motion in the birds wings. I would love to witness the process you go through to make such beautiful digital art.

Beautiful. Very well done. Love all the great colors. There is lots of detail, but it still has a fairly simple feel to it. I wish I had this kind of talent. Great work.

I haven't painted in quite some time and seeing this makes me want to pick up a brush again.

I think you've captured your memory very well in this painting. I especially love the detail in all the foliage throughout the piece. The hummingbird right in front of the girl has more meaning too, I think, with the story you've so kindly added.

Thank you very much for sharing. Great Job!
