St. Bernard and a brandy sniffer
Brandy Sniffer

What do St. Bernards carry in those little barrels around their neck? Brandy, supposedly. This St. Bernard not only has a little barrel to help lost skiers, but he has his own glass, in the library.

This painting is part of my Animal Spirit series. Spirits can be ghosts or the liquid containing ethanol and water that is distilled. Animal spirits can be guides to understanding personality or the future. Or, in this case, Animal Spirits are drinks associated with an animal, feathered, finned, scaled, or furred.

This painting comes framed. Contact the artist if you would like to see a picture of this painting framed.
