Description While I was searching for stock for "The Ghost of the Glen" I saw two horses that called to me for this piece. So, I answered their call.

Again, several days work, off and on, and for the second time in a row, I got exactly what I wanted. I hope you approve.

I am so glad you like it, sweetheart. It is my favorite of mine, so far, although a few others mean more to me because of the message and emotion involved, but I think this is my best work. I can only hope to match it, but never surpass it.

Thank you for such wonderful, constant, and loving support. It means so much to me to know that you are there.

Thanks, Jack, so very much. Your kindness is most appreciated, my friend.

This latest round of weather...did it hit your area hard, or just the usual? It has been a bit rough on my COPD, and I have not really been able to keep up with how the rest of the state is doing, so I thought I would ask. I hope all is well for you and yours.

Thank you, dear. I am not used to getting 100% of the look I am after, but getting it twice in a row felt amazing. And, I ended up with my two favorite works from all I have done, so far.

I am glad you like this one, too.

I am glad you like it.

I have not seen any of those works (that I am aware of, anyway) but the theme of battling stallions is definitely not new. Those two stock pieces, though, just seemed to want to be used like this, so who am I to argue?
