Apple-oosa FROM THE TRAIL OF PAINTED PONIES COLLECTABLES RETIRED: 07/06 Writes the artist, “This Pony has a patriotic theme without the usual red, white and blue, stars-and stripes motif. What is more American than the apple? Hot dogs, baseball and APPLE pie…I rest my case.” Working primarily in watercolors and colored pencils, Penny has won a variety of national awards for her still-life paintings – thus the exquisite realism of the apples adorning her Pony’s flanks. Artist: Penny Thomas Simpson
