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

DeleteThis 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.
