  1. Beautiful painting - not familiar with it but find it glorious in many ways. . . . . colors, composition, facial expressions, and horses!
    Easter greetings dear Trish.

    1. It does look like a stunning painting Mary. It is possible it might be coming here for a visit :) Hope the Easter Bunny finds you, after such a weird year... xx

  2. This is a beautiful painting. You always find the most lovely art work. I think I'll go down to the creek and think and pray and just be.

    1. Dear Sheri, my joy as an art historian is to see and love such beautiful works. Isn't the gold just glorious? My walk includes walking by a creek, and it is so soothing. Blessings at Easter.
