Thank you very much Jaime. I really appreciate your encouragement.

Comment from Envision
I think you did a great job on this. I especially like the work you did with the feathers. The colors and highlights create a great feathery texture. The black background is nice and gives the piece good depth and attractive definition to the shapes of the leaves. Your details in the leaves look good too.

Comment from ArtistCharles
This is a very nice and pleasing tropical presentation. It is very representational of a classic image. The leaves and flowers are well placed to create a good background for the subject. The toucan is fun to look at and created with good details. This is a very calming painting. Well done and well seen. Good luck in the contest.
