About the work

This lovely deer couple is inspired by Comet and Cupid in "A Visit From St. Nicholas" by Clement C. Moore. Handsome and easy-going Comet is kid friendly and Affectionate Cupid is bringing people together. In my imagination, they might have good chemistry and some bonding beyond friendship. Focusing on the well-balanced composition by serene snowy space and the tension of spreading saturated sepia, raw umber and fawn ink on watery paper, I tried to depict the behind story between Come & Cupid after running off their feet in the hectic Christmas season.
