Santa's Shipping and Handling

9x12 watercolor of Santa busy on someone's rooftop preparing to descend down the chimney with his too large bag of goodies.  That family must have been extra good this year for so many crammed into one bag.  Now you know why shipping and handling costs so much.  Splatters of white gouach for snow were added when painting dried.

Santa's Workshop

12x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper of a busy old St. Nick working steadily by candlelight in his shop, getting ready for the big sleigh ride coming up across the night skies.  In this imaginary vignette, I've tried to show his intense concentration.  This is using brush only, no pencil drawing done prior.

Secret Santa

10.25x9 watercolor and ink (Pigma Micron 01 pen) done today.  I drew this wacky Santa this morning around 5:30 then added paint after work.  He looks like he is up to something naughty.

Santa & Toy Horse

10x7 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper and Daniel Smith paints.  I painted him last week in my hotel room; he seems to be hurrying along to get the toys ready for distribution.
