This is so unique Cleo. I like all the fine detail you were able to create with just the black and white. It makes me think of lighted sand art where you move the sand around to create images with the light. I think your technique is very similar. This is very creative and nice work!

This is incredible Cleo!
The use of black and white is dramatic, emotive and oh so loverly. We are drawn in by the beauty and the details.
I can't wrap my brain around how you did this.
Superb piece Cleo Girl!!

You are creating evidently something new. A symbioses between traditional and digital art in a very personal semi abstract style. Interesting artwork. Thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely piece , the Japanese butterfly fairy sits in the garden with the large butterfly right beside her, this is very well detailed, I like your choice of the black and white , I like her expression as she looks at the butterfly.well arranged,I find it interesting to read your notes and your description of how this was created, very impressive! Well presented!

This is a lovely piece of art. Very dramatic use of black and white. I think the white area running the direction that it does draws your eye up and into the scene towards the beautiful face. Nice job!

    To big of a honor. I would not dare to put myself on the same high level as the Edo artists; but your compliment makes me sure feel good. Thank you! :O)
