I see many blue but havent ever seen a yellow thistle flower except on the island there is a vicious spiky plant that covers itself in yellow flowers similar to this. It is very realistic in an artistical way. I see brush strokes and good toning in your colour application... also I find a delight, your fine details on the petals and inner set.

What bright colours, love the center details, the background is rather plain, I wanted to see the prickle's on the plant as you talk about them, but I gather you concentrated on the flower which is rather well done

Very nice work especially given how hard digital art actually is (though sadly many people don't know that.) The colors are fine and lashes.
I like that the background is plain green so that the focus is entirely on the blossom.
My one critique is that I feel the flower petals should be more defined. I don't know if it's your style or reference but just for me I think if it popped a little more it would help the overall composition.
Great work though and keep trying!

Thank you very much for your encouraging review and critical input! :o)
Its, my style. I personally dislike my subjects popping out. I think it looks more realistic if my subjects do not pop. :o)

Very pretty! Your dainty flower has beautiful definition and nice depth highlighted by the fantastic stamens in their boldly contrasting colors. The green background is pleasing. Beautiful work!

Beautiful bright yellow petals on this thistle flower , I really appreciate the way you show the detail and texture n the petals as well as the light and shading , I love that center structure and the bright orange in the very center!
The flower is perfectly placed within the frame and it stands out so well from the deep green background!
Well presrnted!

Cleo,
A very beautiful digital painting of what I think is a Mexican Prickle Poppy. Created by your artist's eye for composition, very skilful digital artist's techniques. Very beautiful choice, blending & application of your colours to bring this beautiful flower to life on your canvas. ( Your painting matches the picture of the Mexican Pricklepoppy when I looked it up)

Fine digital painting. The nice yellow petals and brush strokes with the nice background as well, are so creative. The flower center is right nice too.

An eye catching floral painting. I like this composition as well as the beautiful texture in the petals. The colors are fantastic and the details in the center are great.

Very nicely done Cleo. This Thistle flower has just the right amount of detail so that the viewer fills in the rest in the minds eye.
The bold yellow color is accented by the greens of the background. Well done Cleo.

Sorry I cannot participate at your contest. My old camera is not compatible to my new laptop, nor can I afford a new photo-editing program right now. Maybe next time. :o)
