Here is the cover of a box that I am currently working on. My Mother doesn't like the color of the horse, but I do. I am thinking that when I antique the box, it will darken up a bit. Also, it is a Folk Box and the horse is not meant to be an exact rendering of one. I am interested in hearing what my daughter has to say about it.

I think the horse is fantastic! You should go with your gut. No two people will have the same opinion. I love Grandma to the moon and back - but this is YOUR artwork. Make what you enjoy, and take opinions with a grain of salt. Not everyone can see the VISION. :)
PS. I love the detailed scenery on the rooster box and some of your other pieces. Maybe that is what she is reacting to rather than the color. I think the color is fine - but the background IS stark. WHICH IS FINE! If that's what you're going for! But it is drastically different from the others and that might be what Grandma is seeing more than the horse itself. :) Just a thought.
