das Geschenk

Another little painting that sat in a stack mostly finished for a long time.  I think I had just been reading Lovecraft or some such thing.  I rediscovered it this weekend when I sorted through almost all of my art (got rid of a bunch, including sketchbooks - whew!) I made a couple more touches here and there and now call it done.

Though looking at it again, the red eyes are a bit cliche aren't they?
