A Mare & Her Foal

~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Lazing in the meadow,
During early summer days,
~ A mare and her foal,
Soaking up the sunny rays.

WOW!!! I am soooo impressed....You have talent that can do it all...Not only do you write the words but you paint the pictures to go with them...I have always wanted to be able to paint my visions but I just don't have that kind of talent...Well done...*big hugs*

Hi, SEA! Low C ! ~ lol I finally wrote what I'm always saying when I SEE your name!

The painting appears a bit washed out in this post. The painting itself is full of warmth and light. It is fun putting words to my paintings.

Love & Light,
Linda

Ahhhh !

And, yes ... that means I LIKE IT !!

Owned Thoroughbred Race Horses for years ... such beauty in the animals~

My favorite time of year was the foaling time~
I would rent a hot air balloon and we'd fly over the many, many farms in Ocala, Florida, just to see the mares and foals on the ground~
ENCHANTING !!

Marge ~

You are a fascinating woman ~ and that relays into your fascinating poetry!

My uncle owned thoroughbred racing horses and that is where I came to love horses so much!

How glorious an experience that would be! ~ flying in a hot air balloon and being able to spot the horse farms from the air!

My wasband would jump out of them! Literally! ~ Mind you, he had a parachute on! lol

Thank you for the fascinating reply, Fascinating Lady!

Linda, first of all....I love the verse with the painting.  Is that oil or water color....just curious?  Secondly, the earthly beauty, love, freedom, grace, and peace that both the words and image convey are a the touch of the light of one special Earth Angel's twinkle rays!.....KBHGLY......jo

jo, you write such wonderfully warm replies and I enjoy reading them very much. You put such thought and heart in them.

As to your question, this is one of my watercolour paintings. They call it the "Master's medium" ~ and there is good reason for that! Watercolours are so unforgiving! It is difficult to hide mistakes! lol

Have a glorious day!

LInda, that is a peaceful Haiku, but the watercolor painting especially impresses me -- I can't say that I'm a huge fan of watercolor, in general, but I CAN say that this one truly is the most impressive one I have seen.  You have really captured details in this painting I don't recall having come across in others I have seen in the past.  I admire your talent.

Hi there, stranger! Haven't heard from you in a while. I was beginning to think that you leapt out of this blue pond into bigger waters!

I appreciate you leaping by and leaving such a nice reply!

Such a beautiful picture to add to your gentle words. God has truly Blessed you in many ways and you have hit one of two soft spots with me. One day you'll read about them if I'm able to put them up and they're not to long.
I think your talents are great.
