I've never hear of 'im,Cleo but I'm certainly enjoying your fine looking digital painting,my friend!
It has a very pleasant,slightly 'ghostly' kind of a tone which I find to be very attractive!
'Good Show',my friend!

Comment from JirinaInspire


Great painting and detailed description of the painting. The details are so soft and beautifully done that show the innocence of the girls soul.. The background with the little blue in the corner is refreshing and perhaps indicate the color of her eyes.

I have painted a cala lily myself in the colour yellow and it is in my gallery on FanArt.It is a beautiful flower and I immediately recognised it in your presentation and it correlates so well with your composition.

I am unhappy that I cannot give you a six, to me this is the ESSENCE of Mother Nature, in one of her genteler moods..she blends with ALL the flowers and animals..you just happened to capture her! The colors are lovely, and so is the wonderful softness of this! Donkeyoatey

    Thank you much, you got it all. An review like yours feels like a ten or more; but about the sixes join the club, I never have them when I need them most. :-)

    Ah you saw the pose and got the Madonna connection too! You do see everything indeed. I tried to give her a tild of the had toward the flowers as how a mother would bent toward her child.

Comment from esgjag


this is beautiful work. Octavio is a great painter. I love the Mexican painters my favorite is Diego Rivera who influenced the likes of Picasso. Diego work i many ways was one that showed beauty but also the ugliness of The haves and have nots. I love the flower look excellent work.

    Muchas Gracias! Thank you very much for your review and the honor of such a high rating. I am happy that you like especially this picture. I agree, Octavio is a great artist and I was suppressed that most reviewers never heard of him before. I love Rivera's work also, who would not living in Mexico. He and his wife Frida Kahlo are still the most influential and most popular artists here.
Comment from Mara del Mar


Very interesting notes. Thanks! Great piece of Digital art. Great color and contrast, beautiful details. The silkiness of color of the face transmits purity. Great job.

I liked the colour use in the painting. Softness of the portrait and contrasting colours are impressive in the artwork. Presentation as a whole is amazing.
