Celtic Pony Medallion in sooty palomino with silver mane
Known as "Julius". Created 2007. Leslie describes this piece and medallion: These two guys [this piece, and Theo below], however, informed me that they are entitled to proper names – just like the “real” horses. No impersonal Celtic Pony in Sooty Palomino. “We have eyes,” they informed me. “Things with eyes need names. You do not omit naming someone just because he lacks legs.” Julius is a deep, rich palomino with a silver mane and tail. You can see the faint ear lining a lot of sooty palominos get, and he has slightly paler eyes than his buddy Theo, though that isn't visible at the angle this picture was taken. The color on the background is a rich denim blue (it looks more green in this photo than it actually is) with golden flecks, which compliments his color nicely.

Celtic Pony Medallion in red bay tovero
Known as "Theo." Created 2007. Leslie describes this piece: Theo is a little more flamboyant than his buddy Julius. He's a rich red bay tovero with a frosted, streaked forelock. His lacey pattern edges follow the sculpted hair detail, which was a lot of fun to do. His background is rich mossy green (a little darker than the green I often use when art glazing) with a lot of contrast on the raised details.

Celtic Pony Medallion in brown bay
Known as "Mouse." Created 2007. Leslie describes this piece: After doing a number of Celtic Pony medallions in pinto patterns, I wanted to see how he might look in a more conservative color. Mouse is that dark, mealy-nosed brown that so many of us associate with Celtic ponies. It wasn't captured in these photos, but his mane has sunburned streaks, particularly in front of his ear, as would suit a guy living outside on the moors. The background pattern on the medallion is art glazed in a stoney grey with a dark brown flecking that ties in nicely with the color of the pony..
