This week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Nursery Rhymes."
I used a Mother Goose rhyme for this. A long time ago, I read something where some historians speculated that the word unicorn actually described a rhinoceros that people had seen, but as it got communicated along the way to others, sort of like in the game "telephone," it got misinterpreted to be a horse with a horn.
I'm still struggling with artist's block. I redid the background for this several times, and finally had to enforce my "paint brush down!" time limit rule and stop working on this. I like it, but...
I created this using GIMP 2.10.8.
The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

What an interesting thought behind the Unicorn, it is indeed easy to understand how words can be misinterpreted when passed on from one to the other.
Super Sunday Art, I hope your artistic mojo jumps into action now February is finally here.
