The Dark Vicar and The Black Hen

Painting inspired by a Devonshire legend of a vicar well versed in the black arts. A servant came upon a manuscript left on his desk and began to read. The sky grew dark and wind shook the house. The doors flew open and a black hen came into the room. The hen grew to enormous size right before the servant's eyes. The vicar returned just in time with a bag of rice and he reversed the spell.
