This is beautiful and wonderfully upbeat. Great work on capturing a classic painting style with more realism (on two levels, actually), even if it wasn't exactly what you were going for. The princess and her student look fantastic, and it's great to see them out having a nice stroll. Little Twilight Sparkle's excitement as she chatters on is palpable, and I they way Princess Celestia is adoring her. The background, palace, etc. all look great too, and I really like the extra jewelry you gave the princess. Thanks again for sharing it with us.
