Love the way you have treated the background and the lovely details and colour in the beautiful bird Seok

As Dennis wrote - It's in the background and the details. Well done.

Hi Seok. Really like your colourful mixed media work. I rarely look at POL so this is the first time I've seen this style from you. I like it a lot. Keep up the good work!

This is great Seok, love the background with its suggestion of forest trees and the use of what looks like torn paper doilies? The owl's plumage and eyes are fabulous.

Another beautiful bird rendered in an original medium. I love the palette.

Great use of the palette Seok

Beautiful choice of colours Seok. Am I right in remembering you used to do this ? But I haven't seen it for a while.

A gorgeous piece of work Seok, I love your imaginative use of materials - really creative.

You have done a really good job on the eyes, Seok. And the overall appearance of your painting is a treat, lovely colouration. I like the wonderful textures you have created.

A wonderful mixture of mediums, which have created a super painting Seok.

It's just gorgeous Seok!

Thanks very much, everyone, for your very kind comments! Christine, yes. I did use some tea doilies to add textures to the foreground. And Marjorie, yes, I do work in mixed media from time to time, but have been having a bit of a drought since the new year.

Lovely textures and owl, the textured background is very effective Seok!

Love your choice of media Seok, love the owl too, beautiful image.

Gorgeous colours and mix of textures. Superb in fact.

Thanks very much, Gudrun!
