Santa is Coming

There have been many, many Santa portraits that I've had the pleasure to paint over my many years of drawing on windows. Santa of course, can do many, many things, just like any of us. 

Things aside from smiling knowingly, which is what he's doing here on the window of this Mexican Restaurant.. In case you don't know, "Hola!" is like saying "Hi there!"

I thought that Santa should have a pair of
 "Bunny Slippers to wear when he was at
home sipping hot chocolate....while sliding
along the busy corridors of his vast work areas...

 Here is another Santa, who must spend an inordinate amount of time carrying presents, not to mention wrapping them...while have to avoid tripping over yards and yards of ribbons...

                             


Then there's the issue of how to get those presents down the chimney, without being noticed by a rather sleepy moon....  I did this one on both sides of the glass at a diner-type restaurant where it's the first thing you see when you come into the front doorways.

It must be hard keeping track of every child and what they would like to have for their presents...

 You'd know that Santa also does sports, like bowling...  (Hint, if you'd like to see any of these photos a bit bigger, you can click on them...)

....and to get the toys to kids who live in really exotic tropical places, Santa EVEN SURFS!

Whatever the sort of Santa you have in mind to picture, it's always a fun scene to imagine!
