When you spend so much time, energy and effort on breeding and growing a foal, you can't help being proud, and it shows on the face of this warmblood owner.

The sense of pride and connection in this portrait is emphasized through a vignette effect and by subduing the background. From reference photograph (below) taken by the artist in Loudon, NH.

Dawn owns the elegant black percheron stallion "Silent Commander" (see his portrait) who has sired many fine warmblood foals, including Connie's two.
