For starters, I really enjoy the atmosphere of this illustration. There's just something about reading during a rain storm that feels so comforting. Maybe it's knowing that you're in a warm place during cold weather, but either way, this picture creates a good feeling. On top of that, I really love the expression on Princess Celestia's face. She appears to be so kind and loving, which she should do since she's offering warmth to a mare she cares about so much. Best of all, you did a fantastic job at designing the city. Every building, including the one our main subjects are in, looks grand, exquisite, and beautiful, just like how the city of Canterlot should look. It's good that your knack for detail never lets me down. If I had one criticism, it would be that the sparkles in Celestia's mane are unnecessary. They appear to be quite distracting. Trust me when I say that excluding them would benefit the piece. Other than that, this picture us great. It has a good sense of lighting, it has a nice climate, and it really captures who endearing the relationship between teacher and pupil can be. I think I'll find myself returning to it on any rainy day. Keep up the fantastic work, Jowybean!
