Since this is my first time drawing clouds, close-up flowers, or a sky, I wanted to know what you all thought and if you had any constructive criticism to share.

I like the shading in this... the whole image is quite dreamlike.

Regarding the title: what exactly is it supposed to be in english? The flower medaillon? The medaillon flower?

As for clouds, I too am still learning how to do those correctly But you did them really nicely, they are not that BAM white that you see a lot. Like I said I'm still learning too with those so I can't give you much more advice than maybe reference a real cloud while drawing it ^^

Then it is "Die Medaillon-Blume" or "Die Medaillonblume".

Incredible details you have

Incredible details you have here! I'm quite envious of this, especially of that dang-awesome feather you have there.
I have a wee bit of criticism for you. The items seem to be kind of hovering over the cloud, but that's easy to fix (unless you want them to be hovering! Then just ignore me ;> ) by pulling a few whisps of cloud over the items as if the cloud is "hugging" them and/or casting some shadows onto the cloud from the items.

The way you made the sky with varying shades of blue and with distinct brush strokes immediately made me think of Toulouse-Lautrec. See how in the lady's hair, for example, he has some orange, blue, and even purple, even though her hair is blonde? I saw how you added the colors into the cloud (orange, yellow, and pink) and it made me think of that. Very interesting to look at! I hope you do something like this again, and maybe have fun with it and add even more bold colors to it.
Keep drawing and painting ;>

@Amaz: Thank you. It's not a language I'm immensely familiar with, so the help is greatly appreciated. <3

@Fish: Thank you very much, Fishstick. :3 I intend to paint things like this more often in the future, it's a fun style that greatly relieves stress and anxiety.

@Rikka: Many thanks. <3 Interestingly enough, the feather was the least amount of hassle to paint. The petals were pretty difficult and so was that cloud. @_@
