Santa | Oil on Canvas | 16”× 20” | $4,295
 
For years, this Santa (‘The’ Santa to us), has lived among us.
 
He has stepped into living rooms filled with wide-eyed children, lingered at community gatherings, and carried the bell jingling magic of Christmas wherever he went.
For many families, he is not an idea of Santa–but their Santa. The one who listened carefully, laughed generously, and made the season feel real.
 
This painting was created to honor that living tradition.
 
This Santa is a portrait of Santa, a dear friend to the artist and so many others. He has embodied much of the spirit of Christmas for our community year after year. The twinkle in his eye, the warmth in his expression, and the vibrant glow surrounding him are not imagined–they are observed, remembered, and lovingly preserved.
 
This is Santa as he truly is: kind, present, and full of wonder.
 
More than a holiday image, this painting is a tribute to shared memory–to the magic that happens when a community believes together. It is a celebration of generosity, beauty, and the enduring joy of Christmas.
