Description
Spring has definitely sprung here in New Zealand and brought with it some lovely new arrivals for the stables. A couple of months ago Aphrodite gave birth to her foal by SeE Just Joking , a beautiful colt we are calling Hermes (after the Greek god, known to be a bit of a trickster, hoping to bring a little something from both of his parents' names).Also, as a prize for winning the CLOSED -- Devil's Crest Challenge , we were able to choose a new Don foal (design here: Devils Crest Prize 2015 - Foal 2 ) to join the family - we picked this pretty blue-eyed filly, and Hermes immediately adopted her as a little sister to play with. We're still looking to find a name to suit this filly; feel free to suggest a name for her!
The paddock has certainly been livened up by these two bundles of energy out playing among the dandelions.

My school year has finally wrapped up so I now have more time and less stress which has immediately brought back my itch to draw my HARPG ponies

This is so lovely, somehow you managed to capture that velvet foal fluff look... and now I'm already longing for summer even though winter's only getting started up here xD

Just to see the progress on contrast, composition, anatomy, style and shading from this picture all the way back to your gallery is amazing I love this sunny picture, especially as it's coming close to winter here. The foals look amazingly cute and the flowers Aphrodite look gorgeous together. It's great to see how you have improved. Keep going, you're an inspiration and your art is a pleasure to look at

Aww, thank you so much for your lovely comment! I have in the past thought about 'cleaning up' some of my old submissions, but you're right that it's fun to be able to compare my current paintings to ones from years ago

all of the older paintings are amazing as well but it is indeed a great thing to watch through your gallery (I didn't stalk I swear xD) and see you improve with every painting you make
You're most welcome, I think artists should know when they're absolutely amazing!
