Comment from Lucas Sizov
This is of of the best arts of a butterfly I've ever seen! Most of them look flat, but not this one! I love how you play with the light. The composition is perfect. The details are excellent. The colors are gorgeous! ! I wish I had a 6 left to tate this one as it deserves. Bravo, Cleo! !!

A beautiful picture of this Gulf Fritillary butterfly on the Lantana flowers against a background of their green foliage. The light showing us the beauty of the underside of it's wings. It's digital creation is a mystery to me , what ever you do your artistic skills are very evident in this stunning image.

Great ode to a lovely fragile fantabulous creature!

Fluid smooth stokes in thin impasto technique.

Nice color contrast.
Great framing drawing the viewers attention right to the detailed wing design.

Thanks for sharing...

Maybe the best butterfly painting I have ever seen o this website! You clearly demonstrate your skill in handling both perspective, lighting, and color. The textural background and flowers are superb---on par with the beauty of the butterfly. I hope you have more to share with us!

Beautiful composition that presents this lovely butterfly. Wonderful color and detail in the butterfly and wings, You can feel the softness and textures. The flower is a lovely base for the image and the background compliments the work. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
