“Do you think a few bolts of cloth will make you king?“

A Clash of Kings – Chapter 31 – Catelyn

This picture of Catelyn having to watch the Baratheon brothers “negotiate” was a challenge. It’s hard enough that A Song of Ice and Fire has too many horses in it. What is really hard, however, is fitting multiple horses into my chosen format.

After multiple false steps, this final composition came about almost by accident. For the most part, I’m happy with it. I would have liked to fit Catelyn in a little better, but Stannis and Renly fighting to win the “who’s the most stubborn idiot” contest make it worth it.
