The Trail of Painted Ponies - Crystal, Retired

Welcome to The Trail of Painted Ponies, where the inspirational power of the horse is imaginatively expressed by some of the finest artists in the country. What began as a fantastic public art exhibition in Santa Fe, New Mexico has expanded to new ranges with the introduction of a select line of high-quality figurines that honor the spirit of original Painted Ponies. Each Painted Pony is crafted with exquisite attention to detail, and each is a miniature work-of-art in its own right, which is why Painted Ponies figurines have become one of the most beloved collectibles in America.

From trailofpaintedponies.com:

"She has come to love the desert landscapes of Arizona, but this immigrant artist from the Ukraine says 'I miss the glistening of the snow on sunny winter days, the diamond sparkling
beauty of frozen forests; the incredible patters of fantasy plants and animals that crystallize on winter windows.' Inspired by those wonderland memories, and painting in the 18th Century style
of country people who would beautify their homes with floral paintings on the walls that included birds of paradise and swirls of silver lace, Olena has created a gorgeous tribute to the magical
beauty of winter around the world."

Artist: Olena Kalayda
