I made this for a friends wife. I made a mistake that I didn't really catch till it was done but my friend liked it as it was. How does it look to you guys?

Well Mike, I can't see any mistakes at all. It looks real good to me, the flowers are exceptional.

You are indeed an artist...great job on the reining horse!

Your work, like so many others' on here is very inspirational.

But you shouldn't mention mistake, now some will be looking for it and seeing through the beauty of your work....not me, ain't got time for that.

I tend to be very critical of my work. I'm always looking for ways to improve it. In this piece, I can only think of about 3 changes I would make if I were to do a similar one.

The flowers are based on wild roses in my front yard. I'll have to dig up a better picture but the thorns are left in natural and the vines look very real. The actual roses in my front yard are pink, I believe. Little bitty things with lots of thorns.

The rider is from a photo. I had to make the rider look slimmer, younger and more female than the photo I worked from.
