    Thank you so much MK! Yes, non marker artists have to use pen and ink sometimes when we want really good details. BTW, I do consider you a fine artist. Thanks for the support.

The detail work in this piece is really amazing. From the flowers and background to the details on the dragonfly it all adds to the initial impact. You really did a great job on this, I am sure the contest voters will think the same!

A gorgeous art work......beautifully sketched with all the intricate details in the Dragonfly. Beautiful combination of colors and good brush strokes and blending and shading of colors along with incredible details. Your background colors of blue and yellow compliment your art work beautifully. A creative and talented art work. A good contender in the contest and best wishes. Thanks for sharing. Love this!

Very pretty, like the pastel colours and the softness of the whole artwork. The emphasis on the dragonfly to show his detail is good, however I think I tiny bit more on his body and head would have popped it! It's nonetheless very nice!

This is lovely work! It must have taken forever to get those nice details in the wings. Very nice structure to the dragonfly and your flowers look great too.

I especially like the delicate look of this water color painting because of all the lovely pastel colors, but you have also pictured the dragonfly in a very good way, and especially the wings are done paying very good attention to even the smallest details.

Your brushwork is smooth and accurate, and it is good use of high lights. I also like the contrast between the whimsical looking flowers and the clean lines of the dragonfly.

The format and framing is very good, and I like the slight diagonal placement of the dragonfly. Indeed a lovely and well done water color painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A nice pastel drawing for this contest - the way you placed the flowers creates a dancing impression - excellent use of space - beautiful soft color blend - the wings create an impression to have a double extension due to the color application
you have a created a nice view on the scene with a perfect focus point -great detail work on each subject - well done, all the best for the contest
