"From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Rosie the Apparoosa. Made of ceramic. Measures 6 high. Artist: Marianne Hornbuckle Sponsor: Santa Fe Youth Symphony This work was created by a New Mexico artist nationally known for using the floral form as a means for exploring the relationships of color and value in painting. Apparoosa began life as a computer design: a small rose-covered pony on a sheet of paper. When the life-size pony was delivered to my studio on a cold February day, it was exciting to imagine that blank 3-D surface growing from a sketch to a riotous display of multi-hued roses in bud and bloom, sprouting from earthen hooves and thorny branch-covered legs... At first, I painted under directional light from overhead, but as the air warmed with spring, I opened the doors wide each day so each bud and blossom sprang to life in full sun. Not a single rose was repeated, and the dimensionality created by fully lit blossoms and buds on her graded neutral background gave her a depth I could not have imagined or achieved in a computer design. I dubbed her Rosie, and as she departed her first stable on a warm May day, the three real rose bushes by the studio door bloomed more profusely than any past spring, as if to compliment her radiant and unusual beauty."
