Spirit of the Mustang Wins Recognition on the Best of Zazzle.
Posted for less than 24 hours, the printed canvas offering of the original Mustang A Day Challenge Painting "Spirit of the Mustang" was recognized along with 25 other designers as the Best designs of Zazzle. Spirit of the Mustang is an abstract expressionist interpretation of the wild band stallion, horse watchers have named, Corona. He is from the Sand Wash Basin Herd Management Area in Northern Colorado.
Prior to beginning the Mustang A Day Challenge, Artist Linda Martin began warming up with small format expressionist paintings inspired by some of the horses she hoped to paint in the coming year. The Spirit of the Mustang is one such painting. Spirit of the Mustang is used in much of the promotional material for the start of the challenge.
Spirit of the Mustang is also the base design for some of the Mustang A Day Challenge Gear Ms. Martin is designing to help raise money for the project. Spirit of the Mustang variations can also be seen in blank cards, ornaments , t-shirts and mugs.
