A bundle of toys he had flung on his back...

Here's a holiday inspired painting of Pere Noel. Neither of my 2 year olds have any interest in getting within 20 yards of a real life Santa, but they don't seem too afraid of this painting. We've been reading plenty of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas,' and this Santa seemed to fit the story. Enjoy your own holiday and have a wonderful New Year!

Another painting of a sailboat to remind me of summer as winter settles in here in France.
