I am sure this must be one of your best Cleo. I know I have said this before about some other of your paintings, but with this one I am really impressed about all the fine details you have managed to bring out in this insect. It almost looks like a photo when you see it from a distance.

You have indeed paid good attention to even the smallest details, and you have also used the light in the most excellent way. It is so lovely the way it is falling on the moth. Also the colors are great, and the light green background is perfect.

It is nothing wrong with the composition either. The framing is perfect and the moth is so well placed on the canvas. Indeed a beautiful and well done digital paint.

This is an excellent digital representation, especially for its skillful media execution, nicely framed and well-balanced composition and interesting, yet dynamic geometry. Very well done and thank you for sharing.

'Good Show' here,Cleo!
While I don't understand all that much about the different types and the various techniques of Digital Art I'm certainly enjoying the wonderfully 'Authentic' look of your fine portrayal of this small and interesting butterfly!

Well it appears Cleo that giving one of your pieces a gold star has become a regular thing on my part....lol

This little guy- as well as the seed head he rests upon are just remarkably well detailed. Beautiful. You have so carefully done up the most minute of detail here .....and done it so realistically I can sense the softness of your Skipper's coat as well as the sharpness of the seed head....just stunning. The colors are natural and realistic. Your notes are wonderful and it's well titled.

I have become a huge fan of your very deft and gentle use of this medium. Your pieces all have a softly gentle quality that I find so appealing while at the same time you are so careful to include all the little intricacies of whatever it is you are presenting. This piece is lovely...and so well done AND gets one of my gold stars. Easily Cleo!

A wonderful and striking painting in digital of this unusual moth positioned beautifully on the flower. The detail is outstanding and attention to shading, colours and background are clearly dine with great precision. Brilliant picture.

Excellent digital painting work. It is very photograph like because of how well you rendered the colors and nuances of shadow and light. Also the composition is appealing with the angle showing off the little guy so well. Enjoyed it.

A remarkable painting that I would have thought was a photograph. There are so many skippers it is a tribute to you that you are able to determine which one this is. A very fine composition with great detail and a beautiful color palette.
