The Trail of Painted Ponies

(1) On Common Ground Figurine,

Approximately 6"

The unity and harmony of the feminine spirit resound in the vibrant art of California-raised Patricia Wyatt, who now lives in Santa Fe. As with her paintings, her Pony tells a story that speaks to the timeless themes of companionship and the collective power, wisdom and beauty of women around the world. Animals and lush flowering plants surround the figures on the artist's Pony, emblems of the natural world that pay tribute to the Earth, whose mysterious power awakens us all to life and connects all things.

THIS IS A 2ND EDITION HORSE. IT IS RETIRED AND IS GETTING HARDER TO FIND!

The Trail of Painted Ponies is a beautiful line of Horse figurines introduced by Westland Giftware, the creator's of Cow Parade. It is modeled after the New Mexico-based public art project called The Trail of Painted Ponies. In the history of art, the horse has always been an enduring source of inspiration. Giftbeat, the publication that prides itself on taking “the product pulse of the gift industry” has ranked Painted Pony figurines, manufactured and distributed by Westland Giftware, #1 in the animal-themed collectible category. Painted Pony figurines are mounted on bases similar to more expensive art pieces, and are sequentially numbered on the underside so that collectors can immediately determine where their piece fits in the casting history. By developing a regular retirement program, Painted Pony figurines have made the leap from charming collectibles purchased because people like the way they look and make them feel, to investments that are appreciating in worth. Several of these early retirees have now sold for well over $500. Collect these now before they climb any higher! These delightfully gorgeous Horses will surely be a highlight of any collection.

The Trail of Painted Ponies takes pride in all of the authentic, original artwork that is created by select artists around the country. As opposed to many collectibles that are generated solely for the collectible market, The Trail of Painted Ponies  figurines and merchandise all begin as original works-of-art. The Trail of Painted Ponies figurines are meticulously crafted miniature works-of-art that were initially created as life-size Ponies, Masterworks, Maquettes or Paint Your Own Pony Kit Ponies.
