Nice composition and fine details make this an impressive presentation! I like the mixed media style you have used. The colors are lovely and the small touches throughout are well done!

Comment from Brenda Curley


This is an interesting-different composition.
The horse has a sheen to it complimented by the silver mane. There is an energy to the horse being up on its hind legs. The cactus and flowers bring together the
complete picture. The background is subtle enough to not subtract from the subject.

    Thank you so very much for your complimentary review! I hardly post art these days, so it has been a delight to get this positive response. A version of this will be the book cover to My Grandfather's Magic, the third book in My Grandfather's Horses Trilogy. The second is My Grandfather's Gold.

Comment from Shadow catcher


So glad I had a six left as this beautiful Azulejo stallion truly deserves one. The cactus is spectacular,and I love the moon peeking out from behind one of the arms. The purple flowers are beautiful,especially in the way they they wind gracefully around the stallion's leg.As always,your horse is stunning,the silvery mane contrasting against the bluish black sheen of the coat. The entire creation is well balance and beautifully composed and is a real joy to view!

I have not seen any of your lovely images of horses lately Daphne, but I like this one very much. I especially like the silvery look of the tail and mane, as it they were lit by the moon light, and I also find the purple blossoms very pretty. The night scene is so well made.

The stallion is done paying such good attention to details, and I like the feel of motion. I also find the color pallet very attractive, and you have used high lights so well.

The format and framing is perfect, and by the fine placement of the stallion, it is a very fine balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well done digital creation.

    How interesting Dapne. I think this will be a great book cover, and you are more than welcome for the review. Have a great weekend.

You friend taught you well. The cactus look realistic. The silver full moon illuminates the mane and tail of the horse remarkably. The horse is beautiful. It reminds me of Espiritu. The colors are appealing. The horse is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Very beautiful digital painting of these hard to do cactuses and the horse jumping in the colorful bush. The moon and details are beautiful and so nicely presented.

Yes this is a fun creative work of art. Great colors and interest. Nice detail and colors.
Good texture and imagination. Your friend did a nice job on the cacti and you have used it well in your piece. Nicely presented.
