Seven years ago I started to collect and paint Santa's. I do not have a real large collection, but enough to be called one anyway. Some I have painted and others were gifts over the years. I have them displayed throughout our cottage home in a variety of places. Each holds a special place in my decor and so enjoyed once a year when they come out of sleeping to bring in Christmas and the New Year! 
These Santa's above were so fun to paint and study from a couple of my favorite designs in the Decorative Artist. I love the details in the faces and the goodie bag that santa carries!

Oh your Santas are lovely, especially the ones that you painted. I too love Santas and have a growing collection. This year I painted chalkware Santas for gifts...I loved the process. I have the same one holding the gingerbread house. We must be kindred spirits. Your talent for painting is incredible. Karen
