WOW! Kay has donated a unique collectible for Ariel's Auction, and it will go home with one lucky Gatherer. This is part of the Painted Ponies series and this one was created by Bill Miller, Grammy-award winning *Mohican* who has performed at a past Gathering.

Painted Ponies - Ghost Horse
Height: 6" Medium: Resin
Artist: Bill Miller (Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation)
The prodigious talent of Mohican artist Bill Miller, a songwriter and performing artist, astounds in his beautiful yet haunting, "Ghost Horse."
"As a Native American musician and visual artist, I consider my art and my music gifts to be from my Creator. It was a special challenge to be able to paint on something other than canvas, especially a full-size pony. I believe it brought out a new me. The artistic environment in Santa Fe, the experience of painting in a studio surrounded with other beautifully painted ponies, and the opportunity to give back was a surreal and spiritual experience for me."May you always ride a painted pony down the Red Road."
This design is now retired, and to make it even more special, Bill Miller has actually autographed the base of this horse, making it truly one of a kind. I have to be honest and tell you that I will be bidding on this item!!!! All proceeds from the auction go directly to Ariel's family to assist with her care. Thanks, Kay, for this generous and unique donation!

Steph, I just wish that I could do more. Ariel's Auction is such a worthy cause!!! Just remember that if you aren't high bidder on the autographed Ghost Horse, then there will be one in the raffle, only it isn't autographed. We will have a couple more of the painted ponies for the auction and raffle too. Here are some more that we will have. This first one is called Dream Warriors

Love, Kay |
