Cowpony Art Print

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. With millions of brushstrokes she brought the cattle to life, as well as the spirit that is Cowpony.

This beautiful print of the original, life-size Painted Pony comes flat and unframed with a story card. Measures 28 x 35.5cm.
