From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Painted Ponies
Crystal Pony Ornament. Made of sculpted resin. Measures 2.5" high.
Artist: Olena Kalayda.
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 patterns 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.
