The softness of this piece is lovely. The shading and highlights do a beautiful job of conveying the silky coat of the foal. The details of the eye and nose are outstanding. Such a peaceful and calming image. This piece begs the viewer to reach out and touch it. I just love it.

Glena, this is such a lovely Stallion. You have captured the shine in his black coat so very well, the glimmer in his eye and the softness of his fur. Very nice. I feel as though I could reach out and pet it.

    Ah! Thank you, kind friend. You have made my day artist Jewell. I really appreciate you and your work, as well as your reviews and continued support. I have signed up for an art challenge, portrait, with the wonderful Christian artist Matt Philleo; desire your prayers I will be able physically to complete. I honor your recommendation about my portraits. Bless you.

    Good luck in that!
Comment from VMarguarite


You have created a commendable horse portrait artwork. These descriptive words immediately come to my mind when viewing your stallion painting: of noble bearing, majestic, sleek, strong. Your artwork also fondly reminds me of one of my favorite movies: Black Beauty- 1971 and 1994 versions, and the 1979 film- The Black Stallion- starring Mickey Rooney.
BRAVO to your gifted talent(s) as an artist.

Holy cow, this is so cool! The gray background works really well for this piece. The horse itself is drawn extremely good. Great color, detail and true artistic touch.

This striking painting of a black horse's head emanates strength and grace. Your brushwork is meticulous. You have the intensity and intelligence in the horse's eyes, creating a powerful connection with the viewer. Well done!

Lovely acrylic painting, Glena, showing this beautiful stallion. Very good blending of light and shade and the eye is very compelling. I like the grey background which shows him off well. Great composition. Good luck in the contest! Suzanne

Comment from Cindy Sue Truman


I almost fell off my chair looking at this. I thought it was a photo or I thought here goes a Ai entry BUT it is created by the beautiful gift and talent the sweet Lord blessed you with Glena. Your proportions are perfect and the amazing detail you have created with furrows and veins in the face are EXTREMELY stunning and life like. You even have the area where the bridal-bit would go worn down. You got my vote and I do believe you got this in the contest. Best of luck my sweet animal lover and friend. You really have a talent for horse portraits and should do more. Walk in the Light and stay Always Blessed, hugs across the miles ~ CindySue ~
