This image is both cute and warm. That little one there, looks like gentle character of a story book. Love the soft shades of blue background. Great choice of colors for those gold abstract shapes and formations. They stand out well with your background. Perfectly framed.

    Thank you for your kind review. Interesting that you would say that. The little one is indeed planned to in a story book some day; but I have to find a name for her/him and write the bet time story first. The picture is part of a series called To the End of the Rainbow :-)

    Hope to read your Children's book someday, cleo. You let me know, okay. I always have that inclination to write, but maybe someday. Take care and God bless.

    I will, but first I have to finish the book and find a publisher. :-)

Yes it looks like one of my dreams for sure. I see a puppy and some fish along with the exploding sun. Very nice rendering of the abstract. Thanks Charlie

I like the idea and image. The lamb is adorable. I like the swirls and the moon especially. Pretty blue. Sweet drawing.

Comment from avmurray


The first word I think of when seeing is "Sweet". The reason for this is the heart shapes nose of the animal where the shape is continued to give it a big smile. I also like very much the colors you have used in this creation. The pallet is actually quite limited, which I always like a lot, and the contrast between the lovely blue colors and the golden ones is striking. I also like the textures added to the background where I see the heart shape repeated.

I think you have used the space well but personally I would probably have "collected" all the different items more towards the middle to tighten up the composition a bit. Still it is a nice flow in the painting and I like the simplicity in your expression.

It is true, we all have a land of our dreams, and this is pictured really well in your image. Everything has a dream like and soft impression, and you instantly recognize this a nice place to be. I think this is a very creative and lovely digital painting.

    You are more than welcome. Better late than never. This looks like a great illustration for this kind of book, and I especially fell for the heart shapes nose.

    Thank you!
    You have realized that the heart shape is purpose, I see. :-)

Comment from Jean A Cormier


Aw, Cleo, this reminded of a fun illustration for a children's book! It is dreamy and lots of play with the complementary colors of orange with the blue hues! The little brown lamb in the front is precious with the heart shaped nose! I see a half a crescent moon and lots of fun shapes and forms ! Jean

    Nice of you to say that! It is intentional. It is part of a series called 'To the end of the Rainbow', but I haven't written the bedtime stories jet. You are right with the moon. Thank you for your kind and throughout review. :-) Cleo

    I feel I have become more concise this week, so I can do all the reviews I want to! THis is a delightful work! My grandson would probably call it 'happy'! Jean
reply by the author on 29-Oct-2013
    Thanks again. That is exact what I intend. Unfortunately I have no children near me at the moment. Children are the best critics on a work like this and always a inspiration.

The soft colors and the brights colors really contrasted some of the designs in this picture; some colors are really clear and some are blurred out. All in all, I find that this is a really sweet picture. Thanks for sharing!
