There are a few of you who are on my actual mailing list who received this card, but for all my blogging friends I wanted to share the card that I sent this year. This is the third Santa I did with my Venice references and I think next year I'll have to come up with a new theme.lol
This painting is called, "Plein Air Santa."
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
Some of you have had challenges and losses this year,
so I hope that the peace of the season warms your heart,
and the love of family and friends embraces you and strengthens you.
All the best!!!
Love it. Unusual subject. I wondered where Santa went for his holidays.

I like Plein air Santa. You can tell he's European because he's not that fat. Nice little waist on this Santa!
ReplyDeleteHey Joan!
ReplyDeleteI love your plain-air Santa so much it prompted me to go outside this morning and do a little Holiday outdoor painting myself! Check out my blog if you get a chance and see how much you influenced me.
Paint on!
