Comment from Anne


This is so unique, unusual and beautiful. I like the way you have the doves in this. The softness in the whites and the coloring in this is fantastic. The detail, repetition and way you have put this together are all excellent. A very creative, interesting and excellent work of art.

Hello MoonWillow. This is a interesting and lovely abstract. Very cool how you have the two dove heads surrounding the center ferns. Lovely pastel colors and shadowing . Very pleasing to view. Good luck!

This is lovely. Your detail shows well for this. Great softness to the image and the limited colours shows the image well. Nice technique with the digital for this.

The caption fits perfectly with your picture. I really like the subtle, softness of the doves and the detail of the feathers. Nice creativity. Great job.

Well, this is a very unusual composition.You have created a painting with good impact using a limited amount of color. Love the snowflake pattern in the cener surrounding the doves. Good design and execution. Beautiful work. Good presentation.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I see the faces of alien life forms that are doves, like that aspect of the image and the way you have placed them to create a very interesting pattern. I like the colors and most of the shapes, the floral like images in the center seem to strong for the rest of the composition, they detract from the ability to see the doves easily and in my way of think need to be faded out a little more or maybe be faded out and the a dove flying be over the top... I like the dove design aspects and that should be what is emphasized to me more in the central part of the composition. I like the colors the gold is nice , but again I think that if the peach like colors had been repeated there it would have been a more harmonious component within this image. Also I think the beveled boarder is not needed, it draws the eye away from the main design elements.

Pretty painting! Nice soft pastel color harmony. Interesting designs. Good balance. Nice impact. And now i can't get that song out of my head, the one Robert Duval sang in "Tender Mercies" ...on the wings of a snow white dove..., lol
Nice work...Thanks.

This is a very nice work that has just the right balance of realism and abstraction that really hits the mark. I love the colors and the imagery.
