It's very pretty. I like all that delicate shadowing in the medium tone area of the flower. The center of the flower looks so different from that medium tone area. It looks too much like a photograph.

All you needed was a black and white dog having a listen. Great idea combining the two. Very well done, Enjoyed.

Comment from corrinas creations
im pretty sure I know who created this ;) A strong contender for the contest! beautiful composition with the flower blown up like that. It looks like a photo and then it blends into a painting. A very creative little number

I am a digital artist also and this has got to be one of the best flowers I have seen. I have no idea what Artrage is but you did a fantastic work here
Good luck in the contest

Thank you very much. ArtRage is an inexpensive, but user friendly paint program, available on line. [I think there is a limited free beginner program also] They have classes on line as well.

This digital painting is very well rendered. Sentiments and pleasing to the eyes! Lovely colour application to the lowers. The light makes it glow! Overall a very good effort.Good luck in the contest!

very pretty.. a bit light on the left side of the flower but still can see the details a bit. Good center of flower.

Thank you very much for your review and your input. The left side is light colored and has no flower detail, because the flower melts unto the tube of a grandfathers gramophone. It is a flower only on the right. This is a surrealist painting with a juxtaposition of music and flower.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Beautiful, soft work. Pastel work is not easy to do as every tiny thing can mess it all up - you did a beautiful job with the strong color in the flower´s center and from there working in degrade to the softest light color - the gramophone is a special details - great idea and elaboration - good luck
