I don't know much about digital art. However, "Tropical Colors", is amazing for these lovely joining of colors, livelihood, motion, blending. Best is your composition and the textures. light and happy! Particularly subtle are the variety of color saturations. Without it any points of interest would be lost. I love the details and you have a lovely imagination.

This is a beautiful colourful piece of work. It would make a great poster for a child's room. A part from it's colour, it is light and airy and so picturesque. Beautifully created and framed.

Very awesome. The depth is excellent. The details is excellent. The body form and language of both birds and plants is excellent. The shading is superb. The blend of colors is awesome. The creation is well balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. So very creative and awesome work overall. (Standing clapping and cheering) wooooooooohhoooooooooooo

    My goodness, thank you so much for this awesome review! (And I had just decided to quit for a while because I am working on a cheap Toshiba laptop that is short on RAM, with Adobe CS4 which is behaving like dead software walking.) Adobe no longer upgrades the plugins and it is impossible to continue. But I did manage to get my system to spit this one out and have another illustration of a mare and foal in blue at night half done. I hate to get sucked into Adobe's enormously expensive subscription for Adobe CC, which replaces CS4. I am looking into Infinity, though hate trying new programs after teaching myself this one! (I would draw by hand but old injuries make using software necessary.) I started viewing your YouTube Flowers series -- very original!! I suppose I could assemble my horse cartoons like that, in a collection of stills that flip by. I started work a few yeas ago drawing episodic cartoons of Ed Mcurdy's Strawberry Roan. Because of my bizarre background I did handle range ponies for a few years as a teenager, and got "treed" by my own bronco mare, so can really appreciate this funny song! Anyone with a sense of humor would have to appreciate this amazing song about that roan outlaw horse...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_yfmKMK4mo. Thanks again! Daphne Oberon

This is truly magical. I love the colours, the movement, the framing. Most of all, I adore the unconfined joy that flies off the page. Inspirational work.

This is a wonderful composition to show the beautiful colors in nature! The flowers and birds are all so colorful. I think the most colorful is the Toucan with it multicolor beak. A rainbow is perfect for this composition because it shows more of nature's lovely colors.

Very appealing work of art. Nice entry for the contest - good luck. Like your use of many, many colors - really adds depth to the work. Very harmonious - from the birds, to the flowers, to the trees, to the water, to the mountains, and especially to the rainbow. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you! I still think of your bee hugging the flower photo and think someone should collect great bee photos from different photographers, make story of them, and put the appropriate ones into a little story book for kids... Daphne Oberon

What a delightful piece of birds playing in the tropical sun. You could easily illustrate books. I sincerely enjoy your work and your poetry.

    What a sweet and kind review! I never went to art school and since my hands were injured training horses I struggle a bit doing art; my hand injuries is the only reason Ido digital art work, which is very mental -- especially when the computer acts up! I see you posted a photo of cowboy hats. Do you have, or have you had horses? Daphne Oberon
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Vibrant yellows and cool blues & greens!

Avian delight accentuates the scene nicely.

Inclusion of a rainbow against
White clouds lend depth.

Great framing.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...

Thanks for sharing...
