I can always tell your art. There is a little something of you in most your work that makes it stand out. The art itself is wonderful but it looks slightly blurry but I am sure it's just a photo of the art, not the art itself. The colors pop off the page and the rainbow in the back is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much again. I believe it may be the photo. I've noticed several of my uploads or scans are not as clear as the real art piece. I purposely painted this background foliage thinly and changed the vivid rainbow to a fainter one to suggest distance.
Comment from Starwello


The attention to detail of the focal part of this piece is beautiful. The scenery complements the subject very nicely without taking away from it and the rainbow is a great added aspect that ties everything together very well.

    Thank you for your review and your fine comments. I believe this is the first time and I look forward to your continued support and viewing your artwork as well.
Comment from Cindy Sue Truman


When I saw this you came to mind. The clarity, perspective, authenticity, reality and seeing each feather lovingly and purposefully perfectly placed, I knew it was done by Glena. You mixed a very realistic red to create this beauty with. It seems to me it wants to leap off that little fence and fly into my room. Now, I sure would not mind one bit. I like the subtle rainbow in the back. Truly this is one of your loveliest designs. Well done my beautiful Artist Friend. May the Lord Bless You Always and I hope you do a family of these beautiful birds one day. Hugs across the miles,
to you, CindySue ~

    You, talented one, are so descriptive, insightful, and encouraging, I cannot thank you enough. And, coming from someone of your caliber of talent, I am truly blessed. Thanks for mentioning the faint rainbow which I did purposefully. Gifted and lovely artist friend, beautiful as well from within, I send you hugs also, from the distance. ? Glena

This is terrific. Love the use of colors. The focus on the bird works well (with the background working well as a background). Terrific job in capturing a mood. Love it.

Beautiful colours, perfect detail and very alive! The branch could of been some what smaller, as it tends to steal the focus on the bird. But such a wonderful art work!

    Thanks for reviewing but I hope you will reconsider this aweful rating. What branch? Sorry this is an insult; the crimson bird is perched on a banister. Thanks.

What a beautiful bird! I think you did an amazing job in painting this crimson resells red parrot !
I like the way you placed it on the wooden railing with the green grass , trees and blue sky with rainbow behind it.
Very well created , colors are well chosen and applied, I like the way you bring this beautiful bird to life with that glint in its eye.
Well arranged and presented!

    Thank you, artist friend, for reviewing and for your kind assessment. You really encouraged me. I haven't seen as much of your fine work lately; I always enjoy viewing and reviewing them. I am doing a portrait challenge, trying to get back to my son's book and mine, along with possible surgeries, so I won't be able to do as much on here.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love everything about it. It is one of those pictures that you just cannot stop looking at. The colors are brilliant

    Thank you so very much for reviewing and for your beautiful words of encouragement. I did the work mostly in soft oil pastels.

This is a beautiful picture. I love the colors and the colors ( red, blue, and black) on the parrot in the foreground make the picture and colors in the background stand out more. I also love the rainbow in the background because it gives a little bit more of an edge to the picture. This is a really beautiful image. The photographer did a splendid job.

    Thank you for reviewing and for your kind comments. Yes, it is one of the most beautiful birds in the world. I painted the bird and scene in soft oil pastels. At first, I did the rainbow more vibrant as it was for another contest, but I didn't get it finished in time; so, I made it more faint for it to be more distant. I don't believe I have had a review from you but thanks again so much and welcome to FAR.

    You are so welcome Glena, thank you!
Comment from Sandra Montalvo1


I gave a four and half rating because I was hoping to see more red, since it is a red art contest. There is a lot more tones of greens and blues in this picture before you see more tones of red. However, you did mention how you originally intended this for the "Colorful Art" contest. However, the bird is drawn beautifully, the feathers look very realistic. And you are an overall great artist!

    Thanks for you reviewing my work. Yes, this was originally for a colorful contest and I did lighten the rainbow once I changed it as I couldn't get the work done in time for the contest. I am sorry you gave a 4.5 as I have red in the painting as I desired. Have a blessed day.
