Description No inquiries, please. It's been a while since I did a purely personal piece.

I love realism shading.

Photoshop CS3

If you were wondering, the gold mare is a gold champagne (champagne on chestnut).

What happened to the story?
Discontent, it cuts inside
It's not mean to be this lonely
We were never meant to fail...

I was listening to that song just as I came to this page.
It seemed to fit the mood of the piece. Alex Lloyd is amazing.

ANYWAY. I love texture, I think it adds to any piece,
and you definitely proved that it does here. The sketchy
outline on the champagne really adds to that "aged" look.

It feels like an old photograph, full of memories that
have been kept in a box under the bed for decades...

Very moving. I want to go watch a sad movie now, lol.

Thank you. This meant alot to me when I drew it.

I'm a bit more content, now, maybe a bit older and wiser. XD But I'm glad you liked it.

Something about the linework in this seems so clean, and the text overlay really makes this stand out.
The emotion in this is fantastic.

I agree with Ashley here, beautiful colors and wonderful style! I love the writing, it adds something to this that I cannot indentify. And the mare's expression's done perfectly, she looks so alone and desperate. Beautiful work!

Daw, thats so sad. I can relate thought. Looks like the roan is looking back though. I feel so bad for the golden chestnut. She's so pretty but still ignored *snugs her*

Great piece thought, the emotion is very powerful. The washed out colors really do a great deal towards the effect.

fuzzy-raspberry [2008-09-09 11:30:34 +0000 UTC]

I love the texture to this - it just makes the piece perfect.
And the text in the background is such a clever way to convey the message with the image.

*Randomness*
Saw you spell your name kathryn too. Yay for that...I don't meet many other kathryn's, mostly katherines or cathrine etc.

Have you ever seen 'Love In A Time Of Cholera'? This piece reminds me a little of the main plot of the film. The muted tones of the horse in the foreground are very expressive, they remind me a little of Japanese prints (Hokkusai in particular)

vartia [2008-09-09 03:33:13 +0000 UTC]

Very very beautiful, I love this piece a lot,
mostly cause I feel the same way the horse feels a lot...

Anyway, you did a wonderful job, instant fav, I can't take my eyes off of it xDD~

Wow! You sure put a lot of heart and soul into this piece, I can tell!

That's how I feel every now and again, so I can relate.

Absolutely beautiful, hon. Absolutely beautiful. I have nothing to critique on this. I love it just the way it is.
