Montana Beauty
Driving through Montana is always so beautiful. I never get tired of all those greens you see in this amazing land of ours. I love horses and I really enjoyed painting this horse since he was so close and I was able to "see" those details that you need in a painting. I think he knew I was taking a photo...he stood perfectly still for me..LOL

You have beautifully caught the moment of the horse and of the landscape. A quiet sweetness that is typical of the places very green, pervades this pastel and puts the desire to go to Montana!

DeleteBonjour ma chère amie,
ReplyDeleteCe cheval avait un bel instinct ce jour-là ! Il avait deviné qu'une talentueuse artiste allait le croquer !
J'aime beaucoup le milieu où il évolue. Tout paraît si serein, cela fait du bien.
Ce cheval est prodigieux.Son corps capte merveilleusement la lumière. Votre travail est fantastique.
Gros bisous
You're right, MARTINE! He was definitely posing for me...I was so lucky to be there to take the shot. I don't do many landscapes but I couldn't resist the horse! Have a wonderful day and glad you liked this.
ReplyDeletehugs....
I love those drives, Hilda, through rural America. You often see so many animals and scenery that are hard to find where one lives. It's so relaxing. You painted this beautifully! Gorgeous greens and cool distant mountains.
