I find the simplicity of the quite and solitude of this lone snail resting on the Green leaf to be inviting. I like the white shell surrounded by the green with fine textures and details.
Very nice Cleo!! ;)

Stunning. Brilliant. Great greens. Super white shell I so love. Love your treatment on this whole picture. There is a lot to see if one takes their time. Perfect light purple/plum color in the back area, it helps to break up the greens. Your great! Thanks for sharing this one. Oh, perfect with the lights and darks. Perfect edges on leaves. Wow!

This is a wonderful digital painting of the snail. Fine entry for the contest! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Digital art never ceases to amaze me. This work is no exception. The subtle greens of the leaves naturally accent the bold whites of the snail shell, giving the entire work a nice bit of drama. very well done and I wish you all the best in the contest ~ Steve

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. It is a brushed painting.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent choice of a lowly subject but given an aesthetic presentation.
Verdant backdrop pops out snail nicely.
Palpable impasto strokes creates a 3-dimensional effect.
Visually soothing image.

Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Joanna Bachman


The snail in this work is well done;however,the leaves are too similar in color and intensity. The background leaf,with the purplish black, should,also, show more gradation in tone.
Cordially,

    Thank you for your critical review. I painted the leaves in their natural condition. They do not show much texture or graduation of color in reality. Furthermore the are just there to emphasize the snail, but I will think about if the leaves could be enhanced in some way without taking attention from the snail.

What a beautiful piece of art you created! The snail climbing the ginger plant is so creative and well created!
Great details!
Well framed!
All round great job!

Your digital painting skills are excellent. The shadowed areas are well done, as well as, the shading on the snail. With the green variations from the plant, the snail really stands out well. Good luck in the contest.
