I painted this horse AGAIN and very happy with it now. I painted with goggles on to protect my eye from the pastels. I guess I'm a little obsessed and had to do it. I hope you like it.
I will rest my eyes now.

Gorgeous rich browns! And, as always, the hair you do is exquisite!
ReplyDeletethank you so much Helen. This horse was so much fun to paint! I'm glad you liked him.
DeleteSo lovely! Hope you continue well with your eyes. From mine, it makes such a difference. Mine were done over 20 years ago and haven’t changed. Did you get bifocals? Didn’t have them when I had my eyes done. I wear readers for close work.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Jo for your comment. My eye is healing so beautifully and now I'll have the left one done on March 11th I, like you will be wearing readers which I will pick up today. I could've chosen the other method but he said that a lot of people saw an aura as they're driving so I didn't want to take a chance. Again, thank you for stopping by!!!
DeleteAmazing work Hilda, really love this painting and the way you cropped it, absolutely fabulous !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jane. I always like the option to crop with a horse.. Sending you a hug!!!
DeleteAmazing, Hilda, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Judy!! I'm glad you liked him. Have a wonderful day!!!
DeleteDear Hilda your horse is so gorgeous. I adore the way you let the viewer's eye finish the side not seen. So thankful your eye surgery went well. Take care friend - I will pray the next one goes just as well. Hugs!
ReplyDeletethank you so much Debbie. I really enjoyed painting this horse. I see so many when we travel out West... and yes, now I'm waiting patiently for the 11th. I'm glad they were able to do both eyes within a month...yayyy!
Deleteenjoy this beautiful day.
You gave him such a sweet personality - I love animals and am so glad to see such a soulful painting of this horse - well done, Hilda! Glad your eye surgery has gone well!
ReplyDeletethank you so much Connie for stopping by to comment. I love animals as well! It seems that my eye gets better and better.. I see colors differently now! brighter!!
DeleteI had seen this on FB and thought it was from the same reference. Nicely done!!! Glad to hear that your surgery went well!
ReplyDeletethank you so much Joan! I'm so glad you liked him. Horses are one of my favorite subjects. I hope you and Jerry are well.
DeleteAmazing work as always and I'm pleased to hear the surgery went well. And I'm so sorry that your last visit to my blog went unanswered ... I have no idea what went wrong there.
ReplyDeletethank you SO much John for your visit.. I really appreciate your comment. I went back to your blog and I was able to comment...your work is outstanding, my friend. I look forward to seeing your next drawing.
DeleteExtraordinary work as always Hilda, I'm glad that the surgery went well, much encouragement.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Thank you so much Jose!!! I'm glad you liked this painting....I had my second surgery and it went beautifully. Thank God. I can see so well now. I'm glad you stopped by to comment! hugs.
ReplyDeleteBonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJe suis heureuse d'apprendre que ta chirurgie oculaire s'est bien passée. Il faut attendre le résultat de l'autre et tu auras des yeux tout neufs ! Seulement avec les évènements dramatiques as-tu pu être opérée ? En France toutes les interventions chirurgicales non urgentes ont été reportées. J'aime beaucoup ce très joli pastel que tu nous montres... J'ai envie de caresser cette crinière ! Magnifique travail... J'espère que tout va bien pour toi et les tiens... Prends bien soin de toi.
🌿🌸Gros bisous 🌸🌿
hère Martine,
Deletemerci beaucoup d'avoir visité et commenté mon cheval. J'ai vraiment aimé peindre la version recadrée.
Mes deux yeux sont neufs. J'ai eu la chance de subir la dernière intervention chirurgicale avant le début du coronavirus. Malheureusement, ma fille, mon mari et mes trois enfants ont contracté le virus ... mais ils se sont bien remis et maintenant elle est de retour à l'hôpital. C'est une infirmière autorisée. Prends soin de toi s'il te plaît. Je pense souvent à toi. Gros bisous
Hilda, Hope your eyes are well and you are in your home safe. I was thinking about you and wanted to let you know. I'm not so good about blogging anymore, but did want to check on you since it's been a while since I've been on. This is a beautiful horse and I love the way you cropped it!!! Many blessings and love coming your way!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice comment Carol. I'm glad you stopped by to comment on my horse. I have perfect eyes now and just made both surgeries before the virus put a stop on all surgeries. I hope you and your family are all well!!!
DeleteWow - I am impressed! To paint this so perfectly so soon after eye surgery - wow! o h appy to hear you are doing well - stay safe and healthy, HIlda.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! thank you Susan..such a nice comment. My vision is amazing and I'm so happy that I had it done. I have to say....color is more vibrant than I remember….the whites are so much whiter. I'm so glad you liked this horse portrait..I loved painting him. Stay safe, hopefully soon this will all be over and we can return to a "normal" life again.
ReplyDeleteHuge wow! Love your horse paintings!! Sorry your other one was destroyed. We definitely need more patience sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are better from your eye surgery. I am wondering if you were able to have the second one in March! stay well!
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you liked my painting and glad you stopped by to comment. My surgery on Both eyes went well. 20-20 ...and the surgery was both completed. I was the last surgery that my doctor did before he "closed shop". So I really lucked out. I wear glasses just for close work. Stay safe.
Thank you for your very kind congratulations regarding my husband's book. To be honest, I didn't think anyone was following my blog any longer -- and that's why I must apologize for not having kept up with you! This painting is really beautifully-done, Hilda. I love horses, and you've captured this one to perfection. I'm also really pleased to learn you've had such a successful experience with your eye surgeries -- and just in time before the closure! I had mine done a couple of years ago, and (even though cataract surgery is very routine these days) I was still a bit anxious because I have only one eye. Stay safe and well, Hilda!
ReplyDeleteThank you Helene...I'm glad you stopped by to comment. SO appreciated. I love horses as well and I want to paint another one soon. I haven't been in a mood to paint lately. My mind is all over the place but hopefully, I'll get back to it soon.
ReplyDeleteI as well was very anxious about the surgery. Like you said these days its very routine, however, surgery is surgery and things can go wrong. Thank God, it went well and I can't believe how well I see now and how bright colors look.
Stay safe, my friend.
Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it. Have a nice day.!!
