The most astonishing thing about this picture are the dewdrops that really look like water. Drawing water is sooooooooo difficult. And after all this is done in OIL! *bows*

Hut ab!

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "I think dewdrops are the easiest form of water to draw or paint. They are small and have a distinct shape and a predictable way of reflecting the light. However, I wouldn't have succeeded without a photo reference. Thank you very much for your comment!"

Nah! Its going to get a waterdrop on his head 8

The atmosphere of this picture is amazing!

Early morning, while the due is still fresh from the nights cold, the birds are just starting to emerge from their night slumber to begin their busy day, all the stars are starting to fade into the brightening sky, and there is still a covering of lingering mist that still has yet to evaporate before the sun's rays reach it and steal it away into the day.
And here, in the lingering mist as one peeks through a branch of a tree, are two little songgriffons, still sleeping the day away.

Sorry! ;b That's just what I see in this picture!!

2 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much. That's a beautiful description of this scene!"

I can imagine that you are proud on how the flowers turned out. The little drops of water hanging on them look very realistic. It’s a great picture.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much! I’m glad you like it!"

So beautiful!! I really like the flowers, and the little details like the dewdrops... And the songgryphons are so cute; I especially like the one curled up in the foreground of the picture 2
