Singing Santa

Singing Santa
Singing Santa, an oil painting on cotton canvas, was completed in December of 2013. The original painting measuring 16 x 20 inches was released for prints on acid free paper in time for Christmas.

One of my fondest childhood memories is the belief in the magic of Santa Claus. The fantasy and excitement in anticipating his arrival was almost more than a small southern girl could handle. The wonder and joy he brought into our home has never been forgotten.

As an adult I continue to fantasize about Santa and his magic. Yearly, I paint Santa not only to satisfy my passion, but hopefully to spark the enthusiasm in a child.

Singing Santa was modeled after a cousin who also enjoys the excitement in the children as they marvel over Santa’s arrival each Christmas.
In my painting, I thought it was fitting to characterize him playing his guitar, since he was raised in a family who delights in the joy and pleasure of music.
