A Svelte Christmas Sprite

Acrylic on canvasboard, 9X12 inches.

A new piece, or rather, taking a break from a moderately complex painting I've been working on for several weeks. I did most of this last night while watching/listening to the Mel Ferrer El Greco film. Finished it up this evening.

He is called Alblieas, a haunter of cemeteries on Christmas Eve, where he delights in whispering sad recollections into the ears of those who visit the graves of loved ones. He consumes no food excepting the stomach aches of children, and the tears of old men. As far as spiritual entities go, he has been classified as a member of the parasiticus elegiacus family.


Thanks for looking
