I'm with firecracker on this one, I knew it was yours from the thumb cuz it looks so amazing! and I'm also very happy to see you drawing again :D this is really a beauty aakyra!

Oh, good to see you doing a horse again, I haven't seen one in a while from you. This is coming along beautifully, j! :)

This is beautiful!

Thanks so much to all of you! I try to keep an eye on the wonderful art you all post and comment when I can. Working through this has helped... I have a painting of this image I am working on at the same time which is why it has been in the works so long. White is a great challenge, all of the gorgeous tones that go into creating a dazzling white effect is so much fun! The bridle is much more difficult with the leather effect and the double bit to come, so I will be a little longer. The lovely words of encouragement have helped! Thanks!

This is already beautiful...the finish will be exquisite!

Thanks so much Miss DJ, your words are generous and kind!

oh my what a gorgeous piece!! you have done an amazing work with the colors and shades..beautiful.

Takes my breath away! Oh my...

simply beautiful.

Thanks so much riccir, grey ghost and QT! I am really aching for some time to finish this, and you all have certainly given me the motivation. Thanks, thanks and thanks!

Very beautiful..and so good to see something from you again...:)

Thank you both! Your comments mean a great deal to me... it certainly isn't perfect, and I can't take credit for the composition. I was very fortunate to be given permission to use the reference for a painting. This work allowed me to explore the challenges I might face. I am so appreciative for the tools on this site! A huge thanks to Marcello ... it is so helpful to work through things here before expending huge time and energy into something that may or may not work.

I'm willing to bet it'll work for ya, Aakyra! Absolutely, skillfully painted!!

Thanks so much Elly! I very much admire your work... so it is very nice to reeive your compliment!

Wow. This is a very soft but emotional capture. You have quite the talent for horses and painting!
