Very nice work here Cleo.
Nice textures, beautiful bright colors and incredible details on the butterfly.
I really like your choice of using the palette knife to create this.
Well done ;)

I am very intrigued with the digital medium. You have presented a pleasant work.The Contrast of the butterfly works well with the color pallet. The realistic brush stroke and vivid colors are consistent with that of a traditional oil painting! But in a sense it is almost like when photos went digital...its as if a painting was done...without the painting to hang on the walls...

    We always can print the digital paintings if we wish to hang them onto a wall. :o)

Wow! I love what you have done with the colors. The back ground color brings the butterfly in focus very nicely. This is such a beautiful picture and very well done.

I agree with the All Time Best rating you have received. I really like the look of the markings you used with your paint. The butterfly is highlighted by the flower he has landed on. Very, very nice.

Very well done Cleo. Definitely deserves to be Recognized and an all Time Best. Your choice of colors is superb and tour technique is just right out there. Did you do this from memory or did you have a subject you were copying? Thanks for sharing.

What beautiful colors are found in your work! Such a lovely softness. I like the way the shape of the butterfly mimics that of the autumn leaf providing a pleasing composition. Very nice!

I love the use of colors and the texture of the background. Very nice blending. The contrast of the butterfly and the stark red of the flower makes this art really pop.

Great painting! You inspire me to try digital art!
The background is interesting and the details in the wings of this insect are extraordinary. It looks like a photograph.
Do you start with a photo and go from there?
You also have a nice description about butterflies in the notes.
