Artist's Comments

A few weeks ago I read Animal Farm and I was quite struck by it. It's a very chilling, engaging read.

Napoleon crossing the Alps is one of the most famous paintings of him, so I made this as homage; the various background objects having relevance to the book. Napoleon is the evil pig and the horse is poor Boxer.
I wanted the sky, ground, etc. to be painterly but I think I kinda failed at that. :/ I also failed at linelessness.

The horse looks brilliant, I'm jealous of that mane!!! And of course Napoleon looks awesome, a brilliant cross-over :D

:D It's not that she's fearless, it's merely a sheer lack of self-preservation. :D

The closest thing I can imagine to the thrill of being on a horse that is clearing big fences at speed is zooming down an icy mountain slope on skis :giggle:
