From the Trail of Painted Ponies: Night Flower
Artist: Marianne Hornbuckle
Made of ceramic; Measures 6" high
In this release you will find the lovely “Night Flower,” the second Pony by the Santa Fe flower-painter Marianne Hornbuckle whose “Apparoosa” was retired several years ago. A special casting process was used with this Pony so that even though it is
Made of ceramic, the flowers have dimensionality. Peonies bloom profusely in early June when the soft summer sky is dark and alive with stars and a new moon. Their huge pale flowers, nestled in deep-green leaves, glow with spectacular beauty at that time. With “Night Flower,” Marianne Hornbuckle, whose love of gardening led her to paint large and luminous flowers, has created a Painted Pony that becomes one with the peonies as she wanders through the magic of a summer garden at night.
