Art Unboxed Kindness Shared
For me, one of the most special times for art as a child, was during Christmas. I still remember my Grandfather coloring in giant coloring books during the holidays. Only he didn’t just color, he blended them almost the way you would a painting. I can still see it in my head some forty years later.
I love seeing the Santa’s, snowmen, and assorted reindeer pictures. Whether it’s a painting, sketch, or statue, they’re so creative. They also usually have some unique aspect to them. This is a lesson for me in and of itself, two people can draw the same thing, and find something diffierent in the process.
I suspect I’ve drawn hundreds of Santa Claus images, but I also try to bring something different to each one. There’s still an element of childhood in these drawings, which I love. I remember every year waiting for Rudolph, Frosty, and Santa.
Art at its core should be fun, for the artist, and those you’re sharing art with. I love that inspiration flows so easily during the holidays. I may struggle in June for what to draw, but less so in November and December.

Watercolor Tales Of The Stories
Reminds me of the lyric in the Christmas song, “tales of the stories of long, long ago.”
