Cleo, It's like God himself held a light inside that bloom.

So beautiful with all the glowing and your surrounding colors are lush and exciting.

Wonderful job!

    I apologize for my belated response. I was absent because trying to fix some not working keys and loose key covers on my laptop I worsened the problem. My false. My keyboard stopped working completely. I had to get an external keyboard and an adapter for it. I just connected both and now hope that there won?t be any more problems.

I like how you managed to paint light inside the flower. Beautiful Grandiflora ditto by lush green leaves. I like the softness of the flower and the texture of the leaves.
Nicely done Cleo ;)

Hi Cleo. Just stopped by and still kicking. Scrolled down and found you first. Remember the Magnolia was you. Enjoyed the delicate transparency you achieved in the white petals. The light reflects right threw the petals. Your Magnolia really stands out as it waits for the Beetles and Bees as wonder what came first. Well of course the Magnolia. Good to see you are still painting and I SHOULD GET BACK, will see. Well, good to see you again Cleo and pray for your good health. As always for ever Dave Oh and Thank You for sharing.

A fine looking digital painting of the white Magnolia which appears to pop up agaist the dark green background. Fine composition, soft colours and very good light and shadow makes this first rate. Good luck!

Wow a very beautiful picture!the dark green background really brings out the white flower and adds a it of depth. Excellent use of light and dark colors, just looking at the scene makes me feel like I was actually there in the scene!

Comment from shoregrass


Cleo, I love how this presents the outer view of the petals rather than the more common center view. The angle and surrounding greens show off the elegance of the bloom. wonderfully rendered with beautiful use of light and shadow. Truly lovely, my friend. Glad you revived it. Ed.

Cleo,
A beautiful picture of this evergreen white Magnolia it's face lit up by a sunbeam that glows from within the flower. Created by your Artist's eye for composition very skilful digital techniques beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life.

Comment from alaskapat


This is just lovely! I love white petaled flowers and feel they have such an elegance about them, you have created this magnolia with its white petals very well , I like the way you defined each petal and also show this blossom from a side profile allowing a good look at the structure. It's a nice diagonal placement and it's just so pretty as it stands out from the supporting greenery which is very well created and realistic to view!
This is a great entry for the contest!
Best wishes to you!
