Ocean Dreams Ornament

Ocean Dreams OrnamentThe artistic inspiration for a Painted Pony often comes at unexpected times. This artist was enjoying a meal at a favorite restaurant in Maui when she noticed a picture on the wall of a woman wearing a beautiful flower lei around her neck. Her look was both calming and relaxing, a feeling the artist wanted to recreate by imagining a beautiful lei draped horse walking along the beaches of Maui, taking in the soothing sounds of the ocean waves.

"Inspired by the excitement surrounding the holiday season and my love for all things whimsical and fun

While he sat smoking the sacred pipe with Sitting Bull for the last time

Today they are valued as works of art that are reminders of our heritage… and prized as unique

as what he views gives him purpose and duty - the commitment to protect his herd
