Very nice mixed media work.
I love the textures you have managed to create. I like the golden tones.

The bird is now a golden little flame, since he was originally a cardinal, this is a nice change. A nice dreamscape.

LOL. The cardinal is certainly a changed bird in this scene.. Very interesting treatment and the overall effect of the watercolor and media is great. The bright area in the middle is a little bit to strong and in a real print you may want to tone it down a little bit. Otherwise a fine work of art...Dennis

    You're right, Dennis. If I was to print this, I would probably have to do some toning down. Thank you for the great review!!

this is a great piece, the coloring is superb and the lightness of the background is subtle and warm. The composition is really interesting and I am happy to see the mixed media. Great piece.

Very pretty image. Like the treatment in the sky area with the texturing. Your bird is very well done. Like the colors. The cabin in the background adds the country feel to this. Well done. Enjoyed viewing it.

This is a wonderful artwork you have created here., The use of the watercolours has worked well and presents this image well. Nicely done with the composition and the technique you have used works well here.
