It is wonderful.
Great technique for this.
Beautiful color choices-especially in that luscious mane! Such sweet gentle eyes. A truly precious image.

Cleo, what a lovely thing to do, and what a cuddly, soft guy you've created. I love the colors you've used, and the technique is splendid. Artrage sounds like a lot of fun! Thank you so very much for this honor.

    I am very happy you like it! Thank you for the lovely review!
    ArtRage is indeed a lot of fun. Its only the second or third time, that I experimented with their watercolors. I have jet to learn all the opportunities. I am still in the experiment phase with them, but the watercolors seem to need less time than oil. A fact which is probably interesting to you.
Comment from Mr Jones


it has a super soft quality, that gives this wonderful horse a feel-good factor and also a loving tribute for sure. the powder blue sky, is a perfect foil, for a long haired, chestnut coat. is it some type of a pony? it reminds me of the wild ones that live in south wales. the dark eye socket, gives it quite a soulful appearance.

    Thank you very much! Yes, she is some kind of pony; but I do not know which kind. I found her on a ranch near the place of the wild Horse, I have in my Somewhere in Wyoming picture.

Very nice digital creation, I bet this is not easy to do but you created a face with a wonderful deep and vivid face expression, this eye is just handsome and the main focus as it really brings the character of this horse out - very soft way of painting , very nice blue sky, this is kind like naive painting a very beautiful in its own style - great shadow and light application, great colors shades, very nice position of the head in your frame - great dedication in honor of a horse, just wonderful

Great clarity and framing. Your technique is good. I like the alertness you portrayed on the horse with the ears perked up and listening. Nice proportions and colors. You did a great job on the eye expression and soft colors in the mane. Good job.

She looks sad. Good work. The highlights bring life to the 'painting.' Also good choice of colors.

    Sad, really? I didn't realize it. I look into it. I didn't want her to look sad. To me she looks just as she looked a few years back, when I scratched her.

    Your right - she has that content look! My bad!

    I don't know. I have to look at her closely :-)
