Illustration Friday Topic-Secret

This Secret Santa painting has been very good to me. It has been licensed for gift bags, cards, flags, mailbox covers and needlepoint. It's oils on board. I like painting people a lot and Santa is a great character to do. I have done quite a few of them.

  3. Hello, I believe your site may be having browser compatibility problems.
    Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari, it
    looks fine however, when opening in Internet
    Explorer, it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Besides that, excellent blog!

  5. Interesting. I like doing people too, and I have never considered doing a santa. This is MARVELOUS--I can see why it has become so popular. I'd be interested in seeing some of your other santas.

  9. Thanks Linda and Elizabeth. I think just the fact that it's Santa makes it fun to develop the face character. Lot s of fun elements...wrinkles, whiskers....

  11. I can understand why this Santa has been so successful. He is everything that Santa a should be twinkling blue eyes, rosy cheeks and a sweet sweet smile. Lovely character!

  12. Patti, I just ran across this picture again after receiving it on a card from your mother several years ago; a card that I have saved because it warmed my heart and always makes me smile when I see it. It reminds me of our childhood and a certain twinkling, blue-eyed man. Really nice work!
