The idea behind artists steal was to either use another artwork and modify it or make a parody of it. If you want, you can add a different meaning to it, but it is what it is: the Old Spice guy riding a horse in the Alps. This painting was done in layers due to its complex lighting and background. First the background mountains were done, then the sky. After the sky was completed, the ground around the horse was painting. The soldiers were added later so that it would be easier to paint them. After everything had a basic layer, the little details such as lighting was added. This mainly applies to the foreground, as the Old Spice guy and his body wash should be the center of attention. In the end, the painting was very satisfying, and I think it does a good job of parodying "Napoleon Crossing the Alps."
