This is a beautiful nighttime scene of this mare and foal in the lovely moonlight! The sky is lovely with the full moon and the stars. I like the purple mountains in the background and the purple tones on the ground. The snake is a nice touch.

This is way cool. I love the mare and foal strolling thru the night. You are very adept at this style of painting. Love the shadows and love the colors. Then you threw in the little rattler! Perfect!

    Thank you very much for your thoughtful appraisal, it is very much appreciated! Yo didn't say however what you thought could be improved when you gave it four and a half stars, which as I understand it, suggests that it needs improvement?

This is just really neat to look at. The lighting from the moon to the shadows in the forefront give it a 3D effect. Then the playfulness of the foal and arch of the protective mother make it heartwarming. The shading of blue-indigo-violet make me feel that it's a safe journey as the moon lights their way to the next day. :-)

I'm very much a moon person, and this is a great representation. I love the use of colour and shadow here. Very pleasing to the eye. Excellent work.

Hi Daphne. Great entry for the contest. Good renderings of the horses. The bright moon really catches the eye and gives the scene a bluish cast. Well done. I am still reading your story. Very, very interesting. Thank you for the additional pictures. I am saving everything. Again great work and best of the best in the contest Daphne ~ Steve

I love your style. The colohr pallet is strong and catches the eye. The horses well defined amd i like how you presented their shadows. The landscap and sky look the part. For me a very eyecatching presenration.
