What a beautiful pastel piece. I love the colors and the delicate features to the butterfly. The sunflower is also well done. I can just see the petals rustling in the wind.

Hi Maureen, this soft pastel "Butterfly heaven" is a vibrant visual. Colour, texture and composition are great. I particularly like the Butterfly and the background. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

This has good form and a very nice composition. The drawing craftvis excellent and so iscthe colour palet. I feel however the pastel strokes are raw and not blended in the profiling outer rims of the leaves/petals. Thus if looks like chalk. I realise this may be your intention. However I feel a smoother outline may give this composition that extra oomf.

This is a lovely example of pastel art. The interplay of light and shadows, the vivid colours, and the composition have all come together beautifully. Well done!

Wonderful image of a sunflower and butterfly. The white in the background gives this misty feel. Details, lighting, shadows, color are all really nice. Overall a nice presentation. Thanks for sharing!

A beautiful scene of this monarch butterfly feasting with the seeds of the sunflower. I love the realistic shapes of the sunflower its petals, sepals and the seeds. The colors of your sunflower is a bit unique compare to some realistic ones like red-wine, yellows, even pink. The monarch was well-drawn and colored. Framing and background fits well. Overall, this is a nice piece.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your lovely butterfly and bloom. Textures and tones are good. Nicely drawn!

Good morning, Maureen,
What really stands out to me is the fall colors in this painting. I love that gradient mix of orange, peach yellow and green in the petals. The butterfly adds appeal and interest. The background is highly effective and allows your main subject(s) to stand out in a very pleasing way.
