I'll have two Santa pieces in the Annual BDAC Holiday Show.  It opens tonight.  This piece is on the Santa Claus donation tree:

Santa's Touch 4x4 Acrylic on primed foamcore (paper surface)  Surface provided by BDAC

This piece hangs in the show.

Cookies and Cocoa 7x5 oil on canvas mounted on panel

Come to the opening tonight.  It is always a terrific show a lot of nice gifts for the Holidays!...or any time!

I love painting these Santas...and listening to Trans Siberian Orchestra (TSO).  Awesome band.  My family and I went to their concert last year.  Fantastic!  I have all their work.  I'm a guitar player and I love their stuff.  (I play a little piano, but definitely my "second" instrument)

I have it on good authority, as Mr. Claus' personal portrait painter, that he jams to TSO while he's making toys and packing his sleigh.
