This painting was inspired by a cherished photo my neighbor took of her husband and daughter while strolling together in Charleston. My neighbor wanted to surprise her husband with a commissioned painting of this scene for Christmas. Of course I could not share it with my followers until AFTER Santa came, in order to keep her secret safe!
The best part for me, aside from the joy of painting this fabulous photo, was her reaction when she got her first sneak peek as it emerged on canvas. It was also a very special moment when he called me after opening it on Christmas morning and shared his delight in receiving it.
I just love being a Santa's helper!!!
