I’ve been working on a new winter design and am excited to finally share it! Growing up, Santa was never part of our family’s Christmas celebration, but I’ve always been fascinated by Father Christmas, the old-timey, more traditional personification of the season’s spirit. 

I wanted to paint him on foot, because there is something very sweet about hand delivered gifts. Perhaps it’s slower than taking a sleigh (apparently traditional Father Christmas doesn’t travel by sleigh), but it’s an excellent way to enjoy a midwinter walk and take in the season at a slower pace.
