The painting is pleasant to look at. It has the appearance of the contemporary art of our present. The flowers and leaves appear stylized, but realistic. The proportions are correct.The Background is adequate. The tall format emphasizes the plant nicely. The composition is well balanced and framed.

Bird of Paradise are a favorite flower of mine. I photograph them all the time. You have captured the shape and colors of the flower very well. I am fine with the leaves being more colorful. Nice composition, however I would have liked more space around it so the plant wasn't pushing the edges quite so much. Well conceived and well painted.

There is nothing wrong with this whats so ever!

I love the crispness of everything all those different leaves are very well defined, as are those lovely strong colours, I can see that you are still learning by reading your notes but I also see that you alreadt have your own style of things! Good luck with the contest!
