@wakeupkitty, this is fantastic! I love how you've taken Malhoa's "The Drunkards" and spun such a darkly humorous narrative around it. The dialogue is sharp and witty, perfectly capturing the opportunistic spirit of your characters. The casual mention of "Carnival in Portugal" adds such a delicious layer of context and justification. It's a brilliant example of how art can inspire wonderfully wicked stories! I am on the edge of my seat. I wonder what city they will end up in next. The key is in the Parrot or did the Parrot fly away? Thanks for sharing this creative piece with us! I wonder what painting will inspire you next.
