Description

Before Christmas I wanted to make some kind of picture dedicated to one of my favourite horse stories, War Horse. I had read the book, seen the theatre production and movie so I thought the time was right to do this. I actually sketched the picture during one of my classes at school because I was a bit bored ^^' Then I colored it with watercolors. Those places colored with yellow look better in actual picture. They turned out weird in the photo :}

Story's main character brown horse Joey is giving support to his best friend Topthorn who is loosing his strength while pulling cannon from one place to another with Joey. To this point Topthorn has been the one to support Joey but now it is Joey's turn to do the same to weak Topthorn which was so touching to me in every version of this story. You really can't make a horse movie and not make people cry at some point ^^

I love this story and surely will enjoy it many years to come.
This also was quite perfect to put out at this day. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone <3
