Christmas 2005: Demon Drink
Gouache, 8.5 x 10 inches, 2005.
Demon Drink by Nancy Farmer
In this painting a petite little devil has fallen asleep after a degree of over-indulgence. It actually wasn't supposed to be a Christmas card at all, but I was just finishing it (in late August) and I realized that it would be the perfect candidate for the job, and finished earlier in the year than any Christmas card yet. I always worry that one year I will not be able to think of anything suitably 'unsuitable' at all, and have to resort to robins on twigs. Mind you, there is probably scope, somewhere, for demonic robins on twigs...
