Description
Red Sky at Night, Shepherd's Delight.
Red Sky at Morning, Shepherd's Warning.

The title originally was 'Lazy Days,' but it didn't work as well with the background.

Anyway, you remember Brooke, don't you? (You probably don't, she looks nothing like she used to.)
She's gotten a big makeover. She used to look like: [link] New coat colour, new hair colour, new markings, new eye colour

I tried my 'new' shading style on this one. It looks quite nice I tried something with the hair, but it didn't work as well. When I changed it back to base colours, it just looked worse, so I left it like this

And about the little quote at the top: It's been something that we've used in my family for years. My mom uses it to figure out when to put the washing out on the line and what the weather's going to be like. Plus the red skies are so pretty, but I've never taken a succesful picture of a red sky.

Name: Brooke
Name's Meaning: A brook or stream
Gender: Female
Breed: ½ Appaloosa, ½ Mustang
Age: 6
Height: 16.0
Colour: Brown, with blonde mane and tail and blue eyes
Markings: Darker brown dappling
Mate:Sorren
Sire: N/A
Dam: N/A

Info: Brooke was born before she was due, when her mother was taking a bath in a small brook running alongside the fields where the herd was. She went into labour, and was lucky enough to get out of the stream before having the baby. She named the filly Brooke because of the close encounter. Brooke grew up as a gentle and kind mare, and attracted many stallions. But she only had eyes for one that she knew she could love and trust with all her heart.
