The Dead Artists Gallery Presents “Wild Ponies”

“Wild Ponies, Assateague.” Oil on canvas signed, lower right,”J.(Johnson) Hollar.” This charming depiction of two Assateague ponies was captured by the Maryland plein air artist on a perfect summer afternoon. The adaptation of these wild horses to eat salty marsh grass allows them to roam wild along the Virginia and North Carolina Islands. However, this adaptation demands large water intake, thus producing the large bellies seen on these particular ponies. 13 1/2 x 25 in original simple frame, $475.
