Black horse rearing

Comment from Mr Jones


yes you have to love this horse and in the wonderful stance and posture of the body (represented). really suits both your knowledge of everything equine and this type of unique and magical art you have been so prolific in producing. these type of short neck, body, legs are sort of like a mike tyson in boxing. it's still in proportion but bursting with muscle and top power. as they don't have anything gangley, they can run quite smoothly on any good (or even firmer) ground.

    Another of your great reviews I never thanked you for! Cleo wants a copy so I am sending her one. A new review on the MGH cover states the reviewer would simply but the book out of curiosity for the intriguing cover to see what the story was about. That is good!!! I think the sequel cover is prettier though, and has the little pile of gold nuggets as well. It is in the same setting if you have looked at the mock-ups I emailed you. The setting of climbing El Rey, the white mountain...

I really appreciated the picture's background information. Art really does come from within and you clearly live horses. That said, you created a very nice piece that is full of energy. Thank you.

Beautiful digital artwork, wonderful black stallion with white blaze and two white socks, rearing up in his paddock, I love the way you show the motion in his mane and tail, well shown paddock, the wooden fence and the sloping field beyond, it's a beautiful sky with the lavender blue on top and the pink tones near the horizon. Well created, arranged and presented!

A beautifully made digital art! It is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere.The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

    Thank you so much! Your beautiful Bengal-type kitty with the soft soft coat is lyrical! These are such special animals! This one looks like it has a wonderful loving home. Congratulations! I rescued a similar one from a rock wall when she was a kitten. If you look at my posts you will see my purebred, Satinshadow... What is your lovely kitties' name? Does she have any health issues? So many of them do due to nutrition and immune system issues... Thanks for your kind review! Daphne Oberon
