Hamadryad

Comment from Lucien van Oosten
The part of it I really like is the flow of all the greens to create a whimsical painting. The colors all work well together and for me once again, a piece that has an impressionistic feel, of motion, lighting and color. The only area that I find a little disturbing, actually for me quite distracting, is that stark white area along her chest. In addition, I see that same blown out along the far side of her face, I think both areas needs some subtle green to have that area be in better harmony with the rest of the artwork.
Other than that, the piece has a nice flowing motion to it, accentuated by the leaf being blow by the wind in the background. I am also think a little of the browns in the leaves and to the tree trunk would add to the work as well. Thank you for letting me critique this artwork, my hope is my observation are of help.

Your colors are so cool and foresty, with gentle lighting upon the fairy's face. The tree is excellent and strong, with lovely leaves cascading down in this scene. Beautiful work

This is amazing Cleo, so very well thought out and created , it's a beautiful tree nymph, she has an expression of wonder on her face, I love the green tones over this scene, love the way she is up close to the trunk of the tree, beautiful branch of leaves to her right and more leaves on the ground behind her. This would be such a wonderful page is a storybook about these little creatures. Very well presented and it's delightful to view!

Exceptional work Cleo.
I love how you depict the Dryads here.
Such soothing colors and a very mystical feel about it.
This is definitely the kind of fairy realm I love.
Beautiful piece.

Wow! You sure do know a lot about Greek mythology and it's exactly what you came up with in this piece of art. It's a soft effect which can mean your Hamadryad is shy after all. Great job. Good luck.

Cool,Cleo!
Here's a subject that I've tackled several times and which I'll be going after again in the future!
Your interpretation of the Great Tree Nymph has a smooth,'Dreamy' kind of a look that I'm enjoying a lot!
'Good Show',my friend!

I love your notes and how well your depiction integrated the nymph with its tree. Truly the epitome of being one with nature! Also, so beautiful to look at with all those wonderful shades of green and the pure fantasy of the piece. Great job, Cleo.

Absolutely stunning painting. The composition and expression of the nymphs face soft and graceful at the same time. The different shades of green are nicely blended.

A very nicely composed image that captures the nature of the relation between the dryads and the trees. The color is attractive and the composition is excellent. Best of luck in the contest.
