Thanks so much, Colleen :-))

:-))) ... next time, trust me when I say something’s not finished, ok!! Just like I trust your eye for composition!!

Thank you so much, dear!!! I must admit, I am rather thrilled how well I’m adjusting to colour, (realism!!) and pastels (now that I have switched to ‘decent’ paper) :-))) xxx

Thanks to you and all the other Bubblers who have been encouraging me!!!!!! xxx

Thank you!! ... coming from an accomplished artist like yourself :-)))

lol, well … it’s always different getting a comment from someone who’s actually managed to capture emotions in portraits, like you have :-))) I like them. And I love that horse! (I grew up with Arabs, they’re so delicate)

Thanks Carol!!!! :-)

The Bubble’s a fantastic place … just recently I sat on horseback for the first time in … let me think … 20 years?! The smell alone was so wonderful, it took me right back :-))) Our mare was a 1/8 Quarterhorse-Arab, her foal’s father from the Olford Line … ohhhh beautiful.

;-)
