The “Official Autographed Editions” of 250 figurines
In response to requests from our enthusiastic collectors, we are delighted to announce that The Trail of Painted Ponies has created the only "Official Autographed Editions" figurines. Serious collectors have been searching for a way to collect figurines that are hand-signed and hand-numbered by the artists that created the original works of art from The Trail of Painted Ponies... Now they can, and they are available exclusively through our website store!
There will be eight Painted Ponies in the Winter 2008 Autographed Editions and each will be special:
This fine artist from Colorado has a long fascination with the history and lore of the Nez Perce Indians - expert horsemen with a sophisticated knowledge of breeding who are credited with developing the Appaloosa. Using a distinctive artistic style that combines bold colors with geometric shapes, circles, triangles and arrows that connect his design to the title – a horizon line encircles the horse, grass and trees, canyons and rivers are rendered in an abstract way - he breathes new life and excitement into his stylized interpretation of a breed of horse known for its unique color and variety of spots.
Bob lives in Ft. Collins, Colorado. The original Masterwork "Prairie Horizon" was a finalist in the Native Art of Horse Painting national competition. He is also the artist behind "Mosaic Appaloosa," a retired figurine.
