Superb. The gentle background is pefect. Your choice of soft colors adds to the beauty of this painting. Your attention to detail is impressive considering the soft, wispy nature of the painting. Beautifully done. Very, very nice.

This is so beautiful, I love the gentleness you have presented here with most beautiful colors and great details. Softness of the scene is greatly presented with the non sharp brush moves, sorry, don't know how to express what I see and feel in English that good. Thank you for sharing it.

This has a delicate and sweet look to it. The muted colors are the perfect choice, I find them soothing and relaxing. I like the slight halo effect that you used. Donkeyoatey

This is so soft and beautiful. The whole picture has an aura around the leaves and the bird. I love the insert of the bird as it finishes off the painting but also balances the painting. The colours are well chosen as they are so soft and gentle

    Thank you for the beautiful review on this, Sandy! If you would have painted this, I'm sure the birdy would have had more feathers, but I figured he was far enough away, I could get away with it. I will probably work on him more to make him more realistic for printing. Again, thank you for the excellent. :)

What a beautiful piece of work. I love the soft pink color. It enhances the fragility of the little bird. Very well composed and very nice lighting. It's awesome.

Thank you for sharing

Comment from Mike Roberts


Shawn, this is a very nicely flowing composition. The willow branches and leaves flow together, are formed perfectly. I like your soft heavenly pink and other nice complimentary mixtures of good balanced tones. The bird is sweet and so petite with very blended colors. A soft, beautiful, marvelous composition. So nice.

Mike

Comment from grassroots08


I was expecting to see either a bit of leaf vein lines or green to indicate willow leaves. That's what I get for being a landscaper, sorry. It is still a lovely piece of art with the bird adding to it. Cheers, Don (grassroots08)

    Thank you so much!! The willow leaves were green, GR, but I decided I liked the softer look better :)

    It has more of the look of the milkweed pod, as I view it. It is still a good looking piece. Cheers, Don

This is a lovely digital painting. The colors are smooth and harmonious. The picture is very soothing to look at, and holds one's attention. I love the little bird. It would be a great picture to hang in the bedroom of a little girl.
