Artist's Comments

The last of the beasts that run free in the wild, gather together and look beyond the brick laden walls to see the still beautiful and majestic creature that is strapped to the posts of the deserted enclosure. With only water to keep him well, the unicorn looks dreamily into the stars wondering of a future to be. The walls too tall to leap over and he sits and waits always watching life beyond his reach, pass by as the seasons grow old. He recieves news from the birds who know him well. Still not knowing who or how he got there. Even if the powerful creature could break free from his straps there is no door to leave. He remembers happier days running free and time will only tell what will happen to this poor enchanted creature of old.

"if only unicorns were allowed to race for the triple crown...*sigh*" ~ quote from a friend:lmao:

you havnt read or seen The Last Unicorn? but you must! its one of the few really well done modern fairytale stories :). Anyway, its a wonderful painting, reminds me of that old English poem titled The Unicorn. (one critisim if its not too bold is that the unicorn of folklore never have a hairy horse's tail but rather a white lions tale :whisper:)

So as always great work and cant wait for ur next peice :)
:iconslazerbeam:
really? i never knew that... Can you keep a secret...actually i gave him a hairy tail because the grass between his legs looked like a large pickle if you get my drift :lmao: No critisim is too bold unless you throw a tomato at me lol :boo: I will definatly check out the last unicorn:)
