The Trail of Painted Ponies & the Greater Washington DC Heart Ball
The Trail of Painted Ponies has proudly partnered with the Greater Washington DC Heart Ball to raise awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. The Trail of Painted Ponies has created an original Masterwork that will be featured in the live auction and all proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association. Everyone is invited to attend the Greater Washington DC Heart Ball. One very lucky collector will place the winning bid for "Sweetheart," making this the Valentine of a lifetime.

“It was a privilege to create this original Painted Pony for the American Heart Association and the Greater Washington DC Heart Ball.
‘Sweetheart’ is a loving tribute to my Father, a very accomplished artist who suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 35, in our small town in the Ukraine.
My Father, Valdimyr, was an artist and a teacher with ‘golden hands.’ He could paint the smallest details with delicacy and beauty. I have lovingly incorporated some of his charming designs into ‘Sweetheart.’
If I can help raise awareness for the American Heart Association and let everyone know of the importance of taking care of their hearts, I am honored.
‘Sweetheart’ is dedicated to my Father. This is my contribution to the American Heart Association and to the world.”
