Back in the 80's when I was in college, a friend who was very artistic agreed to do this pastel for me. My Mother bought this horse, Rusty from a friend. We had him for several years but really didn't have enough land to allow him the freedom to run. She decided to sell it to another friend who lived on a large farm where he could run free. It was a difficult decision for her but she knew it was best for Rusty. I had this done for her as a keepsake and she loved it. When Mom passed away and my Father moved to a smaller house, I reclaimed it. Now it hangs in our family room.
