Storm Ponies

$1,950.00

Original pastel on hand made bark paper from the Ancient Earth Series by Cecilia Henle

16.00 X 24.00"

The Story:

This painting features a large overo pinto horse running across a stormy background of clouds and thunder.
Storm Pony is set against a rustic background featuring many spiritual symbols of native life, the  "cloud terrace”,  a significant symbol of the power of the weather, frequently “stacked” together to recall the power of threatening storms.


This artwork reflects the deep connection that indigenous people have to the land, their horses, to their creation myths and legends, and captures the essence of native culture in the American West.

The artwork is a medium large pastel, measuring 24 inches in width and 16 inches in height, and is painted on hand-made bark paper, made by the Otomi tribe, adding to its unique charm. Amat, or bark paper, is known as the oldest paper in the western hemisphere, and is still made today by the same techniques. The artist purchases this gorgeous paper directly from them.

This painting comes unframed, wrapped in protective sleeve on board.

The painting is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by Henle Studio, ensuring its originality. 


The contemporary primitive series of pastel artworks by Cecilia have been shown in galleries across the country for more than 20 years, and many collectors have found them in notable places such as the Joan Cawley Gallery in Scottsdale.
