Painted Pony Art

I am so excited! I just discovered the coolest Painted Ponies art, by a fellow reader and blogger. I sent her an email asking if I could feature it here and she said yes! Yippee!

Her name is Jennifer MacNeill at Gypsy Mare studios http://gypsymare.blogspot.com/ not only is she an artist, she also paints pony for the "Trail of Painted Ponies" collection which I would love to start collecting. That is, if I ever move to bigger place!

Of course, you will totally understand why I chose the painted pony called "Native Son" to show you.......




I love the detail, even down to the muzzle mottling and striped hooves!

Now I know that the holidays are over, but I had to add this one because I thought it was so festive and reminded me a bit of My Boy's spotted equine friend, Cactus Jack Splash.

Jennifer's site featuring the trail of painted ponies is amazing- http://jensponies.blogspot.com/. I think you surely find one that speaks to you. Do any of you have any of the ponies from the Trail collection?

  1. Yes I do actually have quite a few of them. My husband buys me some each year as a Christmas gift. I have 9 of them and I love them. I will have to check out Jennifer's blog - thanks for pointing this out.

  3. That first one does look like My Boy. The other one reminded me of Jack too. I like the painted ponies, I have "Casino" to remind me of a special horse that shared our lives.

  4. That's pretty cool. I saw the 'painted ponies' on exhibit a few years ago in Florida, some of them are very inventive.
    I like the appy's they do look like My Boy and Cactus Jack.

    Thanks for pointing out the blog, I'll check it out anyway,and hope I don't have to have anything.I'd love to have a collection too, but I've gotten to lazy to dust all that stuff.

  9. I have quite a few of the painted ponies (20 or so, not sure of the exact number right now) But I don't have either of those.
    The first one definately looks like My Boy - so of course it is gorgeous :)

  10. I only have one painted pony that I got for Christmas a few years ago from the in-laws. It doesn't look like any of the Appy's but I really like those and am now thinking I should start a collection.
    My man would kill me.

  12. They DO look like My Boy and Jack! I have visited her websites and had to sit on my hands! I don't collect the Painted Ponies, although I do find them appealing. After so many years of collecting marvelous and interesting things, I just don't need anything else that just sits around, collecting dust. I've got plenty already. I will be featuring some of it in future posts.

  14. That really does look like "My Boy" maybe you could get royalties? I have seen those pretty ponies. I don't have any, but I have been tempted. I will check out your friends site.
    I think my "photo" problem will have to be treated, dang it. I hate taking my computer in. Takes forever to get it back!

  15. Girl what are you doing up soooo late! he he, I am drawn to blue eyed kitties! I noticed several other bloggers have cats that look really similar to my three. I will post their pictures tommorow, if I can keep my uploading working!(crossing my fingers!) Have a great week! Don't work too hard.
