Gorgeous work!! Your creative approach has given us a wonderful view of this lovely cardinal. The contrast of red and green highlighted by black is stunning and the birds clear eye is realistic. A pleasing work done with excellent talent and skill!

You have captured the feel of tradition watercolor art via your digital medium. Close inspection can see and feel the attempts at the brush strokes of a tradition painted watercolor art. The strong colors and tight portrait style capture of his head and crest. The green watercolor style background works well.

What a beautiful work of Digital Art.

The colors are vivid and very eye catching. The contrasting of the red and black colors makes for a bold scene .

The sparkle in the eye is such a nice bonus.

Great job Cleo ~ Steve

You have done a great job picturing this red Cardinal, and especially the bright eye is well done. I especially like the crisp and clear reds, and also the textured green background. These two colors always go so well together.

The bird is painted paying a good attention to details and also showing the textures of the feathers. Excellent brush work and very good use of high lights.

The format and tight framing is perfect, and the cardinal is well placed on the canvas. Indeed a lovely and well done digital painting Cleo.

Very nice digital painting of the beautiful red cardinal, very well created with accurate shape and structure well applied colors . He is so handsome and I like the way you have posed him to allow a good look at his face and beak.
Impressive clear eye complete with a nice glint.
Well presented!
