Thelma the googly-eyed pony wants to be a beloved unicorn. A carrot horn, pink paint, and glitter do the trick, but stardom has its downsides. Rhymes with a whiff of dark humor deliver a (rather overt) message: being special comes from being yourself. Cartoonish acrylics capture the garish glamor of celebrity life juxtaposed with the simplicity of Thelma's old green pastures.
