Congratulations on winning the Traditional Artwork of month contest! It was well deserved, and I see why. Being able to capture the emotion in a painting is an talent and takes a lot skill. You mastered that in this painting of this young lady playing her flute. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing. I wish I had more 6 star ratings because this is a 6 star!

    Thank you for your 5 wannabe 6-star rating and your comments. I appreciate both. I have been out doing some grocery shopping and just now popped in to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for the heads up. After I close this post, I will check it out.

    I just checked and cannot find any mention of the flutist winning anything. I suppose it was maybe an error and was corrected. But thanks for comment.

    I thought it was, maybe it was saying that it was recognized. It does have a blue ribbon saying it was recognized

    Well, your comment was exciting, and I enjoyed it while it lasted. Now that I know your references, I will explain. The comment about the contest is an automatic entry in the monthly contest that FanArtReview does automatically. The recognized ribbon you saw is a certificate recognition award a picture or painting gets when it receives 17 or 18 written reviews. Other types of ribbons are given for contest winners. Again, thank you for your 5-star rating.

This is very nice, the shadows and lighting are very nice. Her facial expression while playing the flute is very realistic. The dark background really makes the subject pop. Great work, thank you for sharing.

Comment from Jewell McChesney


Wow Carl, this is very nice! Your work is close to realism with a sense of illustration art: interesting.
Her features are beautiful and convincing.
The choice to burnish was smart.

Very lovely, very well done!!! I looked you over and your art as well. Here, you show execution for her playing her flute and she looks like she has action-lips blowing! Her stance-posture is spot on. Gorgeous piece, and love her direct look-to perform. Wonderful MASTER ARTIST you are.

    Thank you for your 5-star rating and comments. A chill ran down my spine and goosebumps popped up on my arms when I read MASTER ARTIST! That is my creative lifetime goal.

A lovely scene with this gorgeous flutist. I like how you have drawn and painted her facial features especially her expressive eyes, long brunette hair, and smooth skin against her silky dress. The dark background is an excellent choice and really made your character to stand out. The square frame accommodated your subject well. A masterpiece and is a pleasure to view.

Great artwork of this young girl fully focused on the playing here flute.
The shading on her skin and the expression are nicely presented. Nice colors and details.

This is a very attractive piece of work. I can see your talent and appreciate the detailing and colour pallet management. The overall effect is "she is alive" there is movement in the pose and facial expression.

A very clear and realistic piece of art shown here. Realistic image and the black background keeps the attention on the flutist. A very nice submission.
