Armstrong's River of Promise
Liver chestnut Morgan stallion customized from the Eustis Morgan

Francis Eustis is among my favorite artists so it was a great honor to get this beautiful sculpture from him. Unfortunately, his original color didn't reflect the color I had in my mind's eye, so I painstakingly stripped the old oil-based coat down to the resincast base and repainted him in acrylics to a bronze-like liver chestnut with red highlights. Live shown only once in a Sarah Minkiewicz Customizer's Challenge Class, he took third out of about 20 horses, and Sarah said that had I corrected his conformational flaws, he would have took the class hands down!

Wow, here's an oldie! Another one of my 1989 pieces, Harlem was my first palomino! At that time, it was nearly unknown within hobby circles that Morgans occurred in other colors besides bay, black, and chestnut, so it was extra fun showing Harlem, knowing that palominos in Morgans does occur!

Created about 1990, he was the nicest Morgan I'd done until I did River of Promise. His color came out especially rich, though it doesn't show very well in his photos. I really like this mold and would love to do others in the future to see how much better they might come out with my new skills in resculpting and customizing.
