If I had a six I would give it to you. Remarkable painting. What I like are the painting swatching in the work. The texture makes it come alive. Wonderful color combinations. Beautiful.

This is a beautiful painting of the bloom. You always share knowledge about the things you paint or photograph, which is nice. The color is so pretty and soft. Well done!

Cleo this is beautiful. I love the texture and detail of the strokes. The color is just wonderful. Framing is perfect to display it so wonderfully. Beautiful piece.

Cleo, a lovely digital artwork presentation of such a pretty cactus flower. I really like the background pallet of colours which allows the peachy pink colour of the cactus to 'pop'. A pleasure to view Cleo!

Nicely done. At first I thought it was a photo! Love the colors and the wonderful technique. Deserves to be Recognized and an All Time Best. Maybe I can plant this in my backyard! Gotta stop and smell the flowers sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

I especially like the lovely textured background in this painting, and also the subdued colors of it. The orange cactus flower is standing out from it in such an excellent way.

I like the way you have used the light, and also your good attention to the details of the flower. You brush work is as usual excellent.

The format and framing is perfect, and I like the slight diagonal placement of the flower on the canvas. The composition is well balanced. A truly lovely and well done digital painting Cleo.

Another great painting from your hand. And a fabulous painting must say ! The glow of color on the flower is exquisite and sets off the rest of the painting. The play between the background and flower is perfect, beautiful colors. It gives the painting a 3-dimensional feel. Well done.

This image is good and detailing is fantastic.
the brush tone could have been smoother on the lighter side. Else The image is nearly perfect.
