Congratulations on your 1st place win....well deserved. A gorgeous nature scene.....your play with light and shadows give this depth and interest and brings this piece to life. Good brush strokes and blending and shading of colors along with good details. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from iPhone7
Wow. I thought that this was a photo at first glance. Very lifelike and could have been a photo with a painterly look.
I can see why this was a contest winner. The details are wonderful and the colors are true.
The background really brings out the butterfly.
Great work Cleo and thankyou for reposting this one ~ Steve

First of all: congratulations on your contest win! I can certainly see why this was the winner! It's beautiful and so very well created! The butterfly is so realistic, I appreciate the colors and details , shape and structure as well as it's placement in this scene, the green leaves are also very well created with perfect colors and tones, light and shadows ,I like the tiny orange flowers on the left., I can see that this was well thought out, it's perfect! I am sorry, I don't have a six , it certainly is worthy! Beautiful work!

At the same time you posted this there was a posting of the same butterfly in a photo. (which could have been yours) I just wanted to let you know I thought you did an awesome job of digitally painting this! It definitely looks like it has the right markings to me.
Very Nicely Done!

Thank you very much for your encouraging review!
The photo wasn't mine, the butterfly is not the same individual either. The photo was taken hundreds of miles away from where I live. The photographer and I got carious about as well after discovering the coincidence.
