  3. Santa from yesteryear! It is still funny!
    We watched "The Santa Clause" with Tim Allen yesterday and I thought of this post and you. Maybe you will be taking over the JOB!

    Keep painting...

    1. Hello David!
      I am so glad you still find it funny! The photo with Santa's back to the camera reminds me of a self portrait by Norman Rockwell! Tim Allen and me! Wow! I so believe in Santa Claus! Why not! Have a happy new year buddy! Thanks for a great year of art!

  6. Still funny! And such a brave Santa to paint in his best Santa suit. Santa magic must keep the paint off!

  7. Hi Michael, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day! I love these photos! I first saw them on Lisa Daria's blog last year which led me to your blog for the first time! I've so enjoyed our year of blog correspondence! I look forward to seeing the ones of Santa on the beach. We have a lot of images of Santa on the beach over here but usually he's in short sleeves! Have a very Happy New Year!!!
    Your art cobber Wendy!

  8. Hello My Special Australian Art Cobber!
    I had the most wonderful Christmas! Surrounded by family at my brother's house right on the beach! I must post the photo of this year's Santa paying homage to the North Atlantic. My youngest grand nephew and I were the only one's who braved the cold to go outside for a Christmas walk by the sea. The photo I took of him will soon be a painting. I will post that one soon also! And today I took a couple of photos of the most beautiful red cardinal ever. I will post that one for you! I also have enjoyed our art blogging friendship so very much. Thank you Wendy!
    Happy New Year to you your family and friends!
