Description:
"When I was a child I, read every horse book I could find," writes Janee Hughes, a multi-talented artist from the Pacific Northwest. "My imagination soared with visions of magnificent steeds, each one faster, stronger and more beautiful than the last. This Pony depicts today's children, who still read the same wonderful stories." Recently, The Trail of Painted Ponies held a short-story contest, inviting collectors to compose a tribute to the Pony that most inspired them. The winner was so moved by Dream Horse that she wrote, "Even today, you can still find me lying in the grass, reading horse stories and dreaming of horses galloping through my pasture."

Janee Hughes has been painting and drawing all her life; but 31 years of teaching art left her little time for her own work. Since retiring in 1997, she has been able to do more painting and exhibiting. Her work usually is realistic and involves animals, especially horses. As a lifelong rider, horses are her favorite subject matter. Janee has also done work involving carousel animals. She has sold cartoons to newspapers and catalogs. She has combined her art with writing to produce several children's books. And, through her Painted Ponies, she continues to amaze the world with her demonstrations of how diverse a canvas the horse can be.
