RETIRED - Trail of Painted Ponies NUTCRACKER SWEET FIGURINE 6002723

From The Artist Julie Karnath:

Over the years there have been many imaginative interpretations of the Nutcracker, which tells the tale of a little girl and her favorite toy, a funny-looking nutcracker carved to look like a soldier, who whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. Adding something new and unique to the holidays this year is a fancy sweet-toothed Painted Pony nutcracker who is dressed in gold braid and tassels, with frosting on his hat, a candy cane in his mouth and a bucket of candy beneath him, dancing in merriment as he performs his own version of this classic Christmas story.

As a young, “horse crazy” child, my favorite subject to draw was horses. In high school I expanded my subject matter and drew and painted various back drops and decorations for everything from high school plays and musicals to senior proms.  This continued through college where I was recruited for a variety of projects.

 Because I work full time to support my horse habit I don’t have as much time to create art as I would like. When I do have time I paint everything from murals to wine glasses. My largest project was painting murals on the inside of a restaurant that served Mexican-style food. I even painted scenes in the restrooms! I also enjoy creating jewelry and sculpting. If there is a blank space on something it can be painted. The walls of my house are tempting! Art is relaxing and therapeutic for me. I am thankful that God uses me as one of the conduits for his work.
