Wow! This is so beautifully done. Such detail in the fly is so good. The blurred background brings the whole piece together nicely. It's very well done! Good job

You have done such a meticulous job on this fly. Probably the 1st time I have looked at a fly of any kind and didn't want to swat it. The detail you have shown is amazing to say the least. Great job!

Wow, Cleo, this is quite a macro view and its very close to photographic detail is amazing. Really shows off your digital painting expertise right down to those tiny leg hairs. Extremely well done!

Heard on the news yesterday that they have just found another fly to add to the species list :) Your artwork is amazing as you have shown with clarity the detail of the fly down to the little hairs on the legs. Excellent job Cleo.

I really don't like flies, but I love the way you have portrayed this one. Your color choice is excellent. The delicate look of the wings with the pink color showing through is a very nice touch. There is great detail in the fly's legs as well. Very well done.

Comment from Jewell McChesney


Interesting digital painting, here. The use of several tools creates a nice composition of intrigue for a painting of a nasty irritating insect.
The back against the green is a good choice for presentation.
Thank you For sharing.

This is quite interesting. Thank you for your information about flies. I did not know there were so many species. Their maneuverabilty drives my husband crazy when he is trying to kill one in the house! Now I know how they get away. Great job, good detail. Reminds me of a print a friend once had that I loved called "Fly on the Wall".

Very effective colour pallet and really realistic. The tones of pinks and greens always look good and they make a very unobtrusive background, that a ce tuates the fly. I like the texture to the leaf. I like your very interesting notes. Well presented.
