The Artisan Hall Series is a program where artists would visit the company and hand paint an entire run of models. The artist would sign and number each model. The early releases came with a paper Certificate of Authenticity signed and dated by Peter Stone. Later, each model came with a Collector Card with the model's description and a pre-printed signature by Peter Stone. Each run was limited to 200 pieces.
The sixth release was a dapple bay-going-grey tobiano paint ISH called Eldora. Painted and signed by Karen Gerhardt. Inspired by the winter colors of snow, rocks, aspen trees and snow-laden skies; Eldora is a Colorado town near the Continental Divide.
From Karen: "I painted a handful of Eldora's with a gloss finish. One of them was my artist proof that I took home and later sold; it was marked "artist proof". There were a couple that had metallic blue in the pupils, and a couple had all black tails. I have no memory of the specific numbers of such variations however! There are very few."
