A beautiful image. It is amazing to me how you can capture the delicacy of the subject with such broad strokes. The composition is excellent and the color palette is outstanding.

This looks just like a real painting.
Love the strokes, lines, the background is awesome. Love the yellow in the background, goes good with the purple-pinkish petals.
Take care

Comment from Conjure Fine Art


This is beautiful! There is a depth and multidimensional aspect to the petals, especially the top flower, that is breathtaking. The colors were well chosen, and the graduation of color is masterful. The only thing I do not love, is how the green "background" seems to come forward and almost floats in front of the flowers. But that almost creates a frame of the flowers, so perhaps it's intentional, which in that case is fine. It's really a lovely piece, it really stood out from most of what I was viewing. Great job!

    Thank you very much for your kind review and your input. I do not realize that the background is floating, but will look at the painting to find out. :o)

I love orchids. And your artwork shows why. They are so soft in their appearance. You have captured the "essence" of the orchid perfectly. Nice colors and great detail. Well done.

Now, THIS is a flower that does not like it here where I live Cleo....nor the wood heat in the winter...lol

The color of the blossoms is gorgeous here and you've presented them w/ such nice detail. I like the softly muted, swirly colors you've used for your background....sets the blossoms off so well.

It's a very lovely piece and I always enjoy studying your methods section to read about how you do this...and it's pretty enough to print out and hang on your wall.

    Yes, it's one of my house plants. It is especially beautiful right now. I have two branches with 14 blossoms at this time. :o)

Wow! A stunning digital art and a master with your tools. So much beauty in your colors and blending and shading of color, and use the palette knife and oil brushes. I like your Orchids being your central composition and it is engaging. Your greens, blues, grays found in the background accentuate your art beautifully and make it standout. Outstanding and a creative digital art work. Thanks for sharing. I love this!

Love the contrast of colors. Good pink flowers. The greenish background makes the flowers stand out more. Good use of dark and light tones. Like the highlight affect. Thanks for sharing.

This is an interesting digital art rendition. Robust brushwork! . The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Great initial impact on your painting. I love the bold green in the background as it makes the flowers pop. The composition is interesting with the placement of the flowers. Love the bold and powerful brushstrokes.
