Comment from Dawn van Doorn
This is such a sweet moment between these two. I love how soft and delicate this whole painting is. It has a very surreal feeling to it for me. Absolutely stunning work Diane!

Cheers, Dawn

reminds me of the book, now I know I'll spell this wrong, Sacajawega. terribly wrong. but she is the Indian Princess, well known, love the palomino they always were a favorite horse of mine. excellent viewing, amazing how this digital artwork produces such special pieces. don't know anything about it though.

Man I really would love to learn this. You are so good and you got some talent girl. WOW. a jaw dropping creation. beautiful colors and a great detailing work. This sure stands out from the crowd. If I had a 6 you would for sure have it maybe when I get another 6 i'll swing back past this and vote a 6. It's really to bad they don't have a 10. Love it and a great work well done. I want this hanging on my wall.

Your profile name fits you Angel. Your words are inspiring. and I thank you for coming back and giving me that six. I am humbled. and if you ould like o have this on your wall it's yours. I'll message you my email and if yu sincerely would like this painting, you have given me a gift far better than any money could ever mean.
Look in your messages, I would love to send you a 13 x 19 print , it's compliments like this that make me want to paint again. I stopped painting, not sure why just seems to have lost the motivation, inspiration, or desire whatever it would be, but you just gave me a precious gift, you and Steven Parella, aka IPone 5; he did a marvelous photograph that made me want to paint it and then I see this, together you both have truly inspired me, along with all the other amazing compliments I have received from views on this piece, thank you, angle

Yes, you did her justice. Love how her smile and the horse's smile are similar. Your attention to detail is fantastic and I like the background, such a nice complement to this beautiful creation you shared with us. Bea226

Comment from shore1inspire.
you have a wonderful talent to paint this from a photo as the detail is soft to the eye but captures so much, keep up the good work.

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this outstanding review. I am rarely on this site anymore because I don't paint as much as I use to. I have been so blessed with such kind reviews on this partiularr painting it makes me wan to get bak into it. I also do animations and they have seemed to take precedence over my painting, but thanks to your review and others, I think I'll go back to attempt my painting again.
Thank you Deeply

I have the first 9 chapters of the mini series on my animation series The Potectors on my profile page. I did ge better as the chapters move on LOL. after tom wached a couple he seemed to have become interested in animation also, it is addictive and so much fun. I'd be honored if you'd watch a few and leave me a comment.
thank you again for being so kind

your talents in new directions.

A very beautiful work of art. The horse is gorgeous as is the woman. There is so much detail I the painting, from the braid in her hair to the flowers and leaves in the background. Really nice colors as well.

Comment from LorrainePurviance
this is well thought out, I like the contrast between the black hair and the white mane, you have a good pose and the horse is well proportioned, great focus and you placed the elements well in the frame

Comment from lantz55
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the way the horse is looking at the woman as she strokes him. Her smiles tell me she is a true animal lover. You have such fine detail, even to the beads. This picture actually takes me away to a very serene place, Thank you so much for sharing!

Nice art. Pretty. Like the girl. Good looking horse as well. I like the colors. Wish there were more blue water. Good contrast/blend of colors. Thanks for sharing.
