My fave in the Cellie!

And by the way glad to see you doing more paintings with Horses. Your horse painting from before I came here has always be my fave and thought you should do more so thrilled for you that you are doing on these commish pieces!

Thank you Andee :)

Cellie is so realistic, Abbie!!! Love it! Your clients will be so pleased. The horses you paint are so gorgeous too!

Those are great Abbie!! I don't know which is my favorite..they're both beautiful :)

awesome... cellie two thumbs up !

Beautiful!

Awesome Abbie and you deserve to show off!!! I love them both but have to agree that Cellie is top-notch!

Great work on both :o)

You are very talented!

I prefer Cellie, because I am not sure about the groom.

Gorgeous paintings!
♡♡♡♡♡

What do you mean you are not sure about the groom? On which painting? :)

One is a bride walking with her horse. It is the clients daughter and this was on her wedding day

The other is the daughter of my local stables and her horse

I am really, really please everyone likes them :) I should finish them by midtime next week but both clients want them now LOL

Love your horses, Abbie. Your affection for them shows in your paintings.

Oh wow, those are gorgeous!

Don't ever doubt yourself, Abbie. You are the real deal. Love them!

Abbie,

No one who viewed the sneak preview of Cellie will be disappointed. That is an awesome painting!

Both are great Abbie! My favorite is Cellie.

Spectacular, Abbie... your paintings are not even short of AMAZING!

wow they are both beauties well done !!!!

Thank you SO much and yes, I did have that fraud feeling on these. I needed my ego stroking. I am REALLY enjoying these but am very worried that people do not seem to like the bride painting much

Is there any reason? Anything I can do to spark it (realising that I had a photo to work from that was pretty boring and basic)

Well done!

Since you asked Abbie it is the 'image' the person chose. It is nothing to do with your skill. Your skill is great.

.

Sorry Abbie, it was meant to be a joke. I saw the bride and I thought that is not her future husband (groom) with her.
There was nothing against the picture itself, just that I prefered the other.
Your photo does not do it justice but can you not brighten the dress and immediate foreground a bit to give more depth.
But there again, if you have only a day left, I would be tempted to leave it.

Beautiful work Abbie!

Andy, yes I haven't finished it yet and the foreground will get some more detail. It is lacking something, I know, but my hands are tied somewhat. The highlights are to go on yet and that may help a lot

Thanks Terry :)

I love them both!

Thank you!

This is pretty off the wall, but how about weaving a few wildflowers into the horse's tail?

I think They are beautiful! Abbie
As Mary said it shows your love for horse. so beautiful to look at.

Nice work; show off!

Kiddo ... you are IN your element ... this is sooo exciting!!!!! Fabulous, glorious, wowzer-esque-nessss!!!!!!!

These look wonderful!

NICE!

Beautiful work, Abbie!

Abbie these two are both wonderful and I love them both. The bride picture is adorable because it shows the bond between the woman and her horse - and it is perfect because it is a commission and it is exactly what the client wanted hence her choosing that particular image for you to work on. Don't worry about it! You really have got these two in the bag.

Thank you very much. I will hopefully finish them soon. I'm just thrilled the clients love them so much. I have more I'm doing but those are private commissions so I cannot share them :(

Feeling quite 'Arty' at present. Is that actually a real word? Lol

Thank you!

Going to close this now...think I've had my time in the sun xx
