Description 1st Place! Wow Boe now has two 1st place blue ribbons under his belt. We are totally impressed with this boy and ecstatic about his future career in driving!

Evening had come, the heat of the day vannishing on the heals of the sun, a cool breeze left in it's stead. The arena was silent save the breath of a horse as he floated around the arena. Just he, his harness, and handler were all that remained in his mind.

Short but effective titbit I say. I like tiny clips like this. Less rambling in the comment since I wouldn't know what to write about when it comes to a harness class.

But I looooove how this came out. So pleased with it even though Boeden's coloring kicked my but in grayscale. The horse, harness, and cart were all grayscale so I'd say this image was some good practice. And many thanks to the people who suggested adding some yellow tones to the white so it's not so harsh. It worked! And I like the results a whole lot more than just white.

I adore this horse. I want him made into the Breyer Classic Shire model.

Everything everyone else has already said, to the nth degree. I love this one, reminds me almost of an old country painting- but better

Awww! Lovely coat pattern, I really like the variation of brown in his coat. And all the detail in the tack is incredible! The sky color fits perfectly to this picture!

Thanks a lot! I reeeally love this picture too and I think it's my best concerning the bg and horse actually looking apart. I have issues with the horse just looking "pasted" onto the background.

Thank you for all of your other comments and support! I don't want to flood your inbox with short little "thanks a lot!" messages, but...thanks a lot!!

You're welcome ^^ You don't need to thank me, though, I know you're happy about comments anyway. Everyone is, I think

Yeah, the horse fits perfectly to the background. I have trouble with that issue, too. That's because I draw the horses before making the bg. I'm stupid
