Book excerpt: Trail of Painted Ponies Coloring Book: Native American Edition reflects equine ethos and artistic expression. The Trail of Painted Ponies and Blue Star Coloring have collaborated to create twenty-six designs inspired by some of the most popular Painted Pony figurines rooted in Native American lore. Fifteen figurines are depicted through brilliantly detailed expressive designs. Each pony is presented within its historical legacy and brought to life through the interpretive lens of selected artists. Horses have been a rich source of inspiration since prehistoric times, when large wild animals were first drawn on cave walls by Paleolithic artists. This book celebrates the rich collaborative tradition of The Trail of Painted Ponies and encourages you, the colorist, to take part in this artful journey.
