envy???perhaps ?

There is a huge argument going on on a board I am on.
Since , the girl who's work it is over is not one of my fav. people I have not said anything.
I think she is psycho to say the least.
She has painted a draft horse. Her opening price is 600. with a buy it now of 1600 and with that she will paint a second horse and give it to the buyer.
The horse has a lovely face , the mane and tail are very intricate but I don't think it is realistic.
The horses body looks solid black to me. with stars drawn on it.
The stars are supposed to be star dapples.
I don't like them.
I think they look like careless stars drawn by a child.
Several people that are very vocal in the hobby and normally well respected are defending the stars and trying to find pics of a horse with that type of dapples. While many others just say they don't look right and leave it at that.
I am in the I don't like the dapples group but I have said nothing.
Part of me says to be quite because I don't like her and it might be affecting my dislike of her painting. Another part of me says , Like her or not the dapples suck. She got tried at the end and just pasted some crap on.
So saying nothing about it is bugging me. I never keep my mouth shut.
Then the painter went on to compare herself to George Carlin.
George Carlin was funny. He was intelligent. She is just plan hateful and bitter..
So sooner or later I will get on there and say something like , oh give it up and shut up the dapples bite. My nieces 2 year old can paint better. Which is really not constructive criticism.
I am gettin an ulcer .
CRAP.
Here is a link to her sales page .

Here is a link to another of the same resin that is painted nicely.

Nah I thought the Hawcey looks ok, But I'm no horse expert! So I will stay out of this one ;D ;D ;D

The black one is the one I am having problems with. Its the dapples on it.
She calls the body color steel grey. I think its black. Flat black. I think that a black horse has very very dark brown dapples. A grey should have the white dapples ,if a horse with a black coat has white dapples it should be going grey in other places because of its aging.

At least thats what I think is supposed to happen.. I don't know enough about the greying out in horses to really say . And I believe my dislike for her is coloring my veiw of her work , and as much as I dislike her , if she is good then she is good. If she is craptackular ,then I would like to poke fun at her.
How is that for grown up?

I was spraying a model with sealer and think I inhaled a bit to much.
I told my daughter I would be to old and senile to help her with her kids when she got grown and had them and she told me the only way I was gonna see my grandkids is through a plexiglass window . I don't know just how seriouse she is about that!!!
