Nice work. I thought at first it was hand painted not digital it has that look. The design I really like. It is balanced and your colours are blending well and contrasting. There is a certain festive glow about it and I find it very appealing.

    Thank you very much for your complimentary review. My program allows me to chose canvas and mix my own shades of color. It has traditional oil and watercolor brushes, pencils and other traditional tools in many sizes. So I can paint and draw like on canvas, just that I move my tools on a touch pad. Usually I compose my paintings on paper before I go digitally. :o)

Another wonderful repost from the past, Cleo. Excellent notes too which brings back memories of the song and it musical origins. Your rendering fits it and Sondheim's intent perfectly. A creative and original piece beautifully rendered. Happy New Year! Just getting back to normal after a bad cold and cough. Ed.

Beautiful creative artwork of this clown's expression holding a red rose. There is a softness and intrigue in the face and colours. I love the blue hues and the contrasting red in the lips and rose. Lovely light and shading. Well done!

I like how you have framed in a portion of the clown which draws the attention to her face so well. I like the tilt of her head too. The textures and colors of the fabric look very nice. The background is also attractive.

This is a really nice work. The use of color and light is well showcased as the depth in the piece provides a great initial impact. The gaze of the clown catches the viewers eye and draws it to the rose. Job well done.

Oh my goodness! This is absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic digital painting of this clown , perfect work to create the face, the make up , the eyes, the red lips that stand out so very well from the white face makeup, I love her facial expression! the lovely blue tones in her costume, that wonderful ruffled collar, I love that she is holding a single red rose!
This is so impressive to view! I am so happy to award this one a six! Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

I find this so beautifully done. The colors are beautiful and suitable, for clowns are always blue, even at their best. Very well painted. Good luck in the contest.
