Original artwork description:

Spring is my favorite time of the year.
Spring is the time when the air smells of life, hope, freedom.
Spring is anticipation.
⠀
I associate this golden mare with spring and the sun. With the smell of the wind and the tickling sound of butterfly wings.
⠀
When I started the portrait, I didn't know what his heroine would want to be. And she asked for three weeks between the first and last session to think. And during these three weeks she seemed to be thinking and sorting through her moods and states. I tried on one image, then another.
Made me redraw her mane several times. Then put it on one side, then on the other, then turn on the breeze.
⠀
And spring is the time in which most horses in my country are born. Although it may be the same in other countries. As if spring is a time of open doors for young and experienced souls coming into our world. Someone is timidly stepping for the first time, and someone is far from the first time walking along the beaten track.
⠀
I wanted to call this painting "May", but after writing this text, I realized that its name was "Spring"

On this portrait mare of a Don breed ( one of oldest Russian breeds).
