initial impact was "this is a very unusual art work here" so i had to look further into this. color and harmony is very nicely done, everything works. guess i should try my stuff on the computer first before i paint? hehe... the only thing i cans see that bothers me or rather 'intriques me' is why the bird is kind of floating? nothing really wrong with it of cource i would have never done that, but that doesnt mean nothin... good job.

I find this to be wonderfully creative and unique! You have done a splendid job of forming this with a fabulous composition. The color tones really compliment but do not take away from the focal point at all. Fantastic work!

This is yet another very pretty painting Shawn.I love the "style" of the background but cannot remember the artist that used it a lot in his paintings! Love the warmth of the color palette and the evenly spaced sources of light.
Soon you will have that trophy delivered to your front door and nobody deserves it more than you in first place!!
Merry Christmas,my friend!!

This is a beautiful picture of a snowy Egret. It has great initial impact and keeps one's attention. You must have considerable ability to be able to complete a watercolor picture digitally. It is impressive.

Comment from Charlena


This is just wonderful, with the soft strokes you created and rendered here, the colors are subtle yet are very striking, really pretty and definitely an eye stopper
