This beautiful print of the original full sized Painted Pony comes flat and unframed with a story card.

Measures 11" x 14".

Artist: Lori Musil At first you see a painted horse.

Look closer and you see Hereford cows emerging from the shapes and muscles of the horse.

Look more closely and you will find a savvy sorrel cowpony hiding amidst the herd of red and whites.

This artist loves a good joke and a pun.

Once, while working at a friend's roundup, she was told to catch her mount, a sorrel, only to find this horse gifted at disguising himself in the herd of cattle.

She was able to track him down by watching for his pointed, upright ears...

a cow's ears stick out sideways.

Thus 'Cowpony' was born.

Once she had the idea, then came the challenge of fitting the anatomy of the cattle to that of the horse...

a nose to a bulging muscle, the belly of a cow to that of the horse, the face of a cow wrapped over the horse's face.
