Comment from Lynseey
The black-naped Oriole is a stunning bird. No wonder i didn't recognize it thanks to your notes i see where its from. A lovely piece of art with excellent background detail with the leaves and flowers. I like the added softness of purples in the background too. Pleasure to view.

Comment from Javier Eastman
It is a nice piece of art, the red colors really pop up from the surface, It was a good use of digital help beacuse you can even see where it was included or used so keep the raw quality of the watercolors intact... nice work and good drawing. the bird was executed pretty well specially in its head... good work...

Deserves a six! A real treat, enjoyed the detail. Color work is exceptional. i love your work on light and dark on the red flowers, their satin texture contrasts well with the rest of the image. Composition and balance is superb. I enjoyed.

You are welcome:))
We had a month of holidays here in Israel and my son was at home all the time so I just didn't have any time at all, just starting to catch up now, I got my first commission, so I work on that whenever I get a chance, but I do have a lot of projects lined up:)
