At first I thought this was a photo! What a great job,the colors are all natural looking,especially like the cool blue encircling that intense red eye,and I like the realistic looking wood in the background. A very lovely image of this sweet dove!

Comment from Freelo59


i love your subject and his placement across the wood. I do love the blue color around his eye and bit of purple patch. It is just a little fuzzy like you tried to enlarge it and lost a bit of detail.

    I did not enlarge it. I posted the original size of my painting.
    The leak of sharp detail at the also painted background is intentional, in order to emphasize the Dove. :o)

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


This is beautiful bird photography.You have framed it well. The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the soft look on the white dove's face very well. Good effort!

Comment from JirinaInspire


Wonderful painting of this dove with such realistic details and coloring. The somehow abstract background is so beautifully complementing the dove.
Great composition and so pleasing to view; Cleo thank you for sharing!

Comment from janicep1


I love this! I really can't tell that this was done digitally. It looks like a real oil painting to me. I love your colours and all the textures you've achieved. The detail in the feathers is excellent and the way you painted the background rocks so loosely adds so much interest. Really well done!

Comment from Michele Walsh Gorres


I am not too familiar with how digital art is created, but I do like the range of values and use of subtle colors of both cool and warm hues in your artwork.

    Thank you very much for your kind review! :o)
    There are several kinds of digital art. I paint in traditional style as I would on canvas, brush stroke by brush stroke. My program [ArtRage} allows to chose my canvas or art paper texture, and my tools [brushes, pens etc.]. I move my tools on a touch pad. It is a bit like finger painting, although, more complicate. :o)

Comment from Way West


This is an interesting and well done work of art! Very realistic details of the pretty dove with such wonderful colors. I like the close up view! The background of rocks and perhaps wood is a beautiful highlight. Great composition. Done with obvious skill and talent!
