As usual, you have shown your excellent handling of the digital art techniques. The precision of the wasp's outline is amazing. You did well to pose him on the yellow background for all other colors would not have been a complementary. Great job of this dangerous fellow, to whom I am allergic. Thanks

The details on this Paper Wasp are incredible and the colors are gorgeous.
I like the textures and the brush strokes in the background.
Truly in awe of your digital painting skills.

Your talent is amazing Cleo! I don't know how you mange to make your subjects appear so realistic and life like. The details and the colors of this bee are excellent. The prickly pear is also very attractive with great texture.

A stunning Digital Art of the Wasp on the yellow pear. Your colors and brush strokes and beautifully applied with good blending and shading of colors. Good details and good use of light and shadows creating depth and interest in your art work. A wonderful entry into the Insect Art Contest and a good contender. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the color choices, and the softness of the background against the sharp lines of the insect. Is it a yellowjacket? Looks like I can touch it. I love art that actually looks like something. It's easy to take paint and splash it on a canvas a la Jackson Pollack. But it's harder to take splotches of liquid colors and make it look like something else entirely.

I love the colors and detail! The wasp stands out well and looks very lifelike. Might it be climbing over sliced pineapple chunks? Very nice; my admiration! Daphne Oberon

Hi Cleo. I am totally amazed that you can draw an image that looks like a photograph! You did this with great precision. I though it was a photo! Amazing job My Friend and worth a six any day in my book! :o) Nancy

Very cool piece of art. Congratulations on winning the contest with this one! It is well deserved. I like the color of the flower, and I appreciate the description you wrote along with the art.

The wasp is nicely showcased here Cleo. The shadows have been nicely rendered and show a nice use of light. The position of the wasp is an added touch and adds to the initial impact. Nice job!
