The Demented Reindeer

I met my sister and her family out at the lake one warm afternoon this summer. Shortly after their arrival, my nephew, who is 11 years old, informed me he had a drawing that i HAD to paint. He also said him and his friends referred to it as 'the demented reindeer' which was follwed by an amused giggle.

when i saw it, i definitely wanted to paint it. i also got to use a pattern i had drawn up months ago, but hadnt had the chance to use it yet!



you cant see the edges in the photo, but the edges are all green except for the right hand side, which is the red/orange colour. its one of many things i like about this painting.

i will definitely be working up a special 'demented reindeer' christmas card in a month or two for special order :) stay tuned!
