Santa's Artistic Side
Four Santa paintings, a little nostalgia, and the story behind my assorted Christmas cards.
Unique Christmas Cards for Your Season's Greetings
Ho Ho Ho! Merry almost Christmas!
Are you ready to spread some holiday cheer with a twist of nostalgia and a sprinkle of Christmas magic? 🎅🎄 After a sleigh-load of requests from family, friends, and even a couple of elves, I created my first set of assorted Christmas cards.
If you would like Christmas cards this season, email me to ask about the current options.
The original collection was a set of 12 cards with envelopes, featuring four different prints of my hand-painted take on everyone’s favourite jolly old elf, Santa Claus.
Here are the four paintings in the collection:
Card 1. Coca-Cola Santa (2017)
Take a trip down memory lane with this card, featuring Santa sipping the iconic Coca-Cola. It's like a fizzy burst of childhood nostalgia, perfect for anyone who's ever left a Coke out for Santa (and maybe snuck a few sips themselves). 🥤🎅
Card 2. Santa with a Toy (2018)
This card captures a heartwarming, vintage Father Christmas, handcrafting a toy. It's an ode to simpler times and is bound to be a hit with grandparents and great-grandparents, reminding them of the good old days. 🧸🎁
Card 3. Velvet Santa (2021)
Experience the softer side of Santa with this lush depiction of his rosy red cheeks and shiny nose, as if he's just come in from a frosty winter's night. It's like a warm hug on a cold day! 🌟❄️
Card 4. Illuminating Santa (2023)
The 2023 Santa was inspired by an AI-generated image. He radiates a magical aura that’s sure to light up the holiday season. It’s like capturing the Northern Lights in a Christmas card! ✨🎇
Each card is a little piece of art, a snippet of Christmas spirit, and a dash of holiday fun. I love the thought of them carrying festive wishes to everyone on your “nice” list.
The tradition began with my annual Santa Claus cards, made for family and friends.
Ask me about Christmas cards, including the current designs, quantities and prices.
Wishing you a season filled with peace, love, and lots of Christmas cookies!
