Critique
In this image, a white curvey shape spreads from the bottom left corner of the painting toward the upper right corner, tapering off around the center. It is set on a blue background. The shape ends in five white oval like extensions. The bottom two extensions hold a blu semicircle each. whith a brown and black line at the tip. The top extension ends in small circular shape, near the top of the image, with a pointed protrusion facing downward. The shape contains a yellow circle center, surrounded by a black and red outline. At the tip of the protrusion a white oval hangs, crossed over by a thin black line.
The image is a very simple one, consisting of only two main colors. The shapes are flat and almost bulbous in their outlines. There is a smooth feeling of tranquility as blue meets white. And the birdlike image at the top, in black red and yellow, nicely accents the simplicity of the rest of the piece.
Overall I find the piece a successful one, simple in the majority but seemingly purposefully so and very well executed. The intermingling of blue and white soft shapes conveys the soothing feeling the painting seems to be going for. The space is used well, and the small use of more dramatic color draws the eye nicely.

This is well organized and clear. You can afford to elaborate a tiny bit more on what contributes to the soothing quality (for example, why is the combination of blue and white soothing?). But overall, you've got the gist of the thing.
