what do you do ...
when you love the peace and tranquility of the country ...
are drawn to the beauty of horses ...
their flowing manes ...
and gentle eyes ...
a city girl with a longing for country living...
well ...
you paint your dreams ♥
The wind of Heaven
is that
which blows between
a horses ears

These are beautiful paintings! You really caught that wonderful soulful look in a horse's eyes.

Oh its lovely. I was just telling my hubby that I am going to begin painting and drawing horses again, like I did in my childhood. I sketched horses daily on everything! I wanted a horse so bad. I have never had one but I rode my Uncles all the time. Beautiful, inspiring quote too.
thank you su ♥
hello Meredith ~ such a compliment ~ thank you xo
hello Julie marie ~ I agree ... a state of mind ...we have a spot we love to walk with archer where we pass a field of horses ... they are usually happily grazing but occasionally will look up and watch us from a distance ~ such beauty ♥ it has been raining here all day, but the garden is thankful for it. thank you for your support and lovely comment xo
hi jane ~ thank you ♥ their eyes get me every time ~ the soulful gentleness xo
thank you Kerrie ~ I think most of us have longings for our own horse ♥ maybe sketching & painting is our way of having a little bit of that yearning fulfilled xo
Oh Deb, it's just beautiful! So very beautiful! xo Jen
Gorgeous painting and photograph and quote. We a horse riding center across the street from us and I love sounds of the horses especially early in the morning.
Much love and many blessings
Jeanne
Sounds like you've got a tribe of horse lovers here, Deb!
And I'm no different, as you probably know. I absolutely adore horses. I had a couple of horses when I was younger. Nowadays, I get to admire them from across a fence or visit the four wild horse herds here in Wyoming.
How inspiring to see you paint our beloved steed. You are so, so right about those gentle eyes. :)
Horses are such soulful beings. You've captured that beautifully.
thank you Jen ♥
how lovely Jeanne to have the horses so close ♥
hello lynn ~ how I would love to see the Wyoming wild horse herds ~ such beauty ♥ 'tribe of horse lovers' ~ perfect xo
thank you Julie ♥
I really love the colors you used. Also, there is something about that leaf, I just love the mottled colors. Great job Deb!
thanks andrea ~ I was walking along a country lane one day last fall with my husband & we stopped to talk to a horse grazing in the field. As he began walking up towards the fence, I smiled when I saw that a lovely autumnal leaf had landed in his mane ♥
First I would like to thank you for your sweet comment.
Wow your painting are gorgeous...
I love horses I think there is just such beauty to them....
Smiles~
Mari
