Very pleasing colors and a good effort. The vertical painting works well with your subject. I think your work would benefit if you observed more living butterflies. You would see that their wing shapes vary considerably. In your picture, the shapes are very similar.

Pretty pastel art. I like how you blended the background from blue to soft muted tones of yellow greens. Gives it a soft watery effect. The flowers are nicely done and vary in color. The addition of butterfly is clever. Overall very pretty!

Really nice art piece. Very colorful. I like the light pastel colors that you used with your art mediums. Each butterfly has different details on their wings which makes it fun for me to look at. Like how their flying mostly in same direction, the one that is not flying the same way is a little distracting. Overall this a wonderful piece of art. Thank you for sharing. Good luck in contest.

Such beautiful butterflies. It's an amazing drawing. You did a great job creating it. Looks like you worked hard to get the colors and angles just right. Don't worry about the slightly cropped butterfly. It reminds me of when you take a timed photo and just barely make it into the picture! Lol!

A whimsical but elegant image. I like the use of water colors on the background and the beautiful color palette. The butterflies are eye catching and they should serve you well in the contest.

This has that light. airy spring time feeling that makes me want to get outside! Its simple yet magical; the fairies must be hiding down in the grass!

Very pleasant to view, soft to the eyes and the pastels tones bleed very well together. A picture you might find in a children's story book. A nice done and well presented

I think this is beautifully done with the arrangement and placement of the flowers and the butterflies. They are each unique in shape, size and color. The background fades from blue to yellow and really helps add to the artwork. Very nice work and a joy to look at.

Lovely rainbow of colors on the cone flowers and fluttering butterflies. Fine soft background allowing the butters and flowers to have our full attention.
