Santa

21.5x28, oils on stretched canvas
Oh, this one was pure joy.  I had a playful background with whimsy in the air.  Then, without warning, a face surfaced, then a beard.  We had a kitten who just had to sit on my lap.  She stretched up and put her paw on the canvas.  It turned out so perfectly pressed that I never went over it and painted past it. That's how this adorable Santa came to be..  I hope you like him. He could bring the Christmas spirit into your home!  Should I add a pair of glasses on him?
