Good lighting and and the detail comes through very well. The colours are sharp and the background compliments the main compostion nicely. Thanks for sharing on far

Vibrant blooms in contrasting colors!
I guess they're complementary in the color wheel, right?!?

Compact framing shows fine floral features & smooth fluid textures.

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. Red and green are complimentary. Blue and Yellow are contradictions. Those two are complimentary to secondary colors, blue to orange, yellow to violet.
Comment from Artistic Chick


Hummm, I looked and looked for what would be brush stroke marks. I didn't find any. All I could come up with is maybe some of the long yellow strands. It kinda looks like maybe here may have been phone lines over head that you painted yellow blades coming frok the flower to cover the phone lines. If so, great job. I can't see any power lines, it was just a hunch. Pretty colors together. I thought maybe there might be too much light. but not really. I think maybe the time of day you took this might have been going into evening or it was cloudy outside?? Good focus and detail, use of frame. Good job.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. Some parts are painted soft bu stipping the brush, bust you shold be able to see the brush strokes. If you click in the right low corner of the painting the original will show up. If you still do not see any brush strokes blow the original to a size of to 200%, then you should be able to see the brush strocks.

This is so pretty! Strong visual impact , this makes me think of a beautiful summer day in a garden, the flowers and greenery are so realistic , I first thought this was a photograph, you are the master at digitally created flowers! I like the vibrant pink tones and the way you placed them in this scene, the tiny white flowers stand out so very well against that vibrant pink, I love that wonderful burst of sunshine yellow in the flowers in lower frame, these are well arranged and in such a realistic way, I like the supporting greenery and itâ??s placement too, the opening on upper left allows a view of the blue sky . This is very well created and a pleasure to view! Best wishes to you in this contest!

The colors are beautiful. I wish there would have been more detail in the flowers. The point of view from being from down low and looking into the sky as being led from the bottom up to the sky is a nice added touch.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. I did not want the sharpness of a photo, but looking as I saw it with my own eyes. I smoothed some detail by stippling with my brush. Stippling is a technical which was used by impressionists in the past.

    I misunderstood what you accomplished. My bad.

    Your review is OK. Don't worry about.

    Thank you. Right before I read your response someone had really given me down the road for a review on a piece of art work. I am not an artist and don't know all the forms of art. I feel like I really upset her. Well, I really did upset her. I'm doing the best I can. Thank you for putting my mind at ease.

    You're ewlcome. If you do the best you can, It will be always OK with me. If I do not know about a special technique an photographer or artist used IU just skip the picture. That protect me from making mistakes which could upsed people. :o)
