    Thank you FAR for the win. This was a fun image to create and I am humbled that you chose it for the winter contest.

Lynnmarire,
A beautiful digital painting of the Appaloosa horse standing in a stand of leafless Silver Birch with the snow falling around it.
Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful digital artist's techniques and sharp focus.

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


This is so different in the digital field and fine display you have here. The appaloosa horse is gorgeous. Her surrounding forest complements her amazingly in color and theme. I am glad it was not AI created but by your unique art and digital procedures. This is a beautiful digital classical creation.

    Most welcome, artist friend. So deserved. I don't know if I told you or not, but after about three reloads, I think the pears may not be blurry now.

Beautiful piece Lynnmarie.
You've done a great job with your layer blending. Great perspective and proportions. The appaloosa among the birch trees and snow is a brilliant composition. Only visible for a moment and then she will disappear into that forest like magic. Lovely piece and great explanation of work and how AI should be used as a tool not the whole art.

This looks like another winner in the contest. I fell in love with the scene. You've conceptualized well the elements of your composition. It looks magical as well. Lynn, this deserves my SIX!

A very lovely and amazing visual of this beautiful horse peaking through the forest. Your composition shades tones and textures are very thought out and executed. Thank you for sharing

I really like the snow scene that you placed that handsome horse into. The soft colours are very harmonious and blend beautifully together creating an overall lovely looking image. I can see the work that has gone into it.

I like this, If it would have been oil on canvas or watercolour with a true artist hand I would appreciate the work because as a painter of art there is lots of details a paintbrush and and the imagination, I dont mean to belittle computer work but it is still done with a machine. And yes the imagination and the skill is still there but somehow I feel that machines make it a whole lot easier, Can you tell that I prefer artists that done use machines or AI or computer?

    A digital artist is a true artist and I do come from a traditional artist background. A digital artist uses the same skills as a traditional artist. I use a stylus or mouse as my brush and my screen as my canvas. Most traditional artists will never understand digital work or the true work that goes into it. Thats ok, I am not a fan of watercolors, doesn't mean the person who created it isn't a artist. Is a photographer not a photographer because he uses a camera? Is a artist not a artist because they don't use a brush. A tool is a tool. I use a computer as my tool and this took me a couple weeks to finish. Sorry, I usually avoid answering comments like these but I am very protective of my skill and my craft as well as digital artists. Can you tell that I will defend a artist regardless of what type of art they create? It is the vision, it is the skill, it is not about the process to achieve it.:)

    I am one artist who is also a photographer, I paint from my photos, but to me someone who uses AI should be not put in the same category for contests, but I never win, the AI or computer generated one wins cause its perfect. Just my thought

Whatever the medium may be, the output captures untamed beauty and grace. You have shown the majesty of our animal cohabitants. The serene hush of nature's snow transforms the woodland into a magical haven. Good effort. Lovely work. Good luck! I wish I had a 6-star.
