The Limited Edition Poster was painted by Alberta’s Western Artist, Donna King. Donna was born in Edmonton AB in 1955. After spending her childhood on a farm just outside of Edmonton she resettled near Leduc AB in 1975. Donna’s love for horses was evident at an early age as she worked on pencil sketches for her mother. Her love for vibrant color led her to oil paintings and she started getting requests for paintings on hand saws and circular saws. For many years she had sold-out shows at the Ponoka Stampede Art Show. Donna only paints about four or five paintings per year and most have sold in Canada the USA and Japan.

The original painting will be auctioned off at the 88th Ponoka Stampede Showdown Calcutta on July 1st to the highest bidder.
