Your technique and skill using the digtial art work for this has presented this so well. Your detail is excellent and the composition really impacts the viewer. Nicely done with the deep blue colour for the Jay.

Comment from Angelheart The First


Hi Shawn,
I must say that I liked what you wrote in your notes.Before I begin,did the pixelized areas
of the background happen in the upload or did you do that?
I love this work and the colors
really pop.The branches that you painted are so realistic and the lighting is excellent.
The softness and smooth look
of the jay works nicely for me.
It's all good to me with the exception of those areas that I brought up.
Great job as usual.Thank you for the a.m. lift!
Angelheart :)

I love blue jays, they are just too cute,but why its givingblury look on the face? especialy eyes? I could understand if it was picture, but its a digital painting :) it should be sharp, sharp as these leaves. also like the background.

Very arty look. Love the design. Your bird is great. Shows him doing what he does best...makes his noise to let us all know he is there. I hear them a lot around my place. Background color blending, along with the pinkish leaves really sets this off. Well done.

great art work expressed in digital means, the contrast is great, especially the background, the bird has great color but its position may need some adjustments

    Thank you for taking the time to review this, Rami. If I remember right, I believe you said the same thing about the position of my red-winged blackbird :)

Yet another one of you lovely birds. The bird loves alittle out of focus compared to the branch ,but that could be my monitor. Great inverted v composition. ARTSEY

    I don't think it's your monitor, Artsey. That's just the way I paint. I couldn't get him any clearer without making everything else too sharp. If you have any suggestions, they are welcome :) Thank you so much for the excellent regardless of the flaw :)

Comment from katshelton


I am always fascinated by this digital art because you can use such marvelous colors and do just about anything. You say this is simple but I think it is very talented work. I love the jay with his mouth open, they usually are in real life with his feet wrapped around the branch. The picture is clear, precise and the colors are very complimentary. Good job.

    LOL. yes, it seem they always have their yaps open squawking. Almost like crows. Crows are so noisy...lol. Thank you so much for the super review, Kat!! :)

the bird looks like it going to jump out and start to sing, the leafs give a morning filling and the background just blends every think together

great job, thanks for sharing
