Here’s another Santa Knows painting … Dalai Lama … one of two in the series that I’ve actually sold. This one went to someone in Seattle … which (who knows why) pleases me enormously. The other was Prince, the Purple Snow Santa … he’s down in Georgia with my dear friend Sheri Baker.

Of all the Santas … think I did ten or eleven in all … I have only three, my favorites — Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs and Surreal Santa, Son of Man. No artist wants to be their own best collector, but I don’t think I could part with these guys. Yesterday, the Christmas spirit got me, maybe because I wrapped presents (paintings for everyone!) … so I dusted off the Santas and hung them in the kitchen. Yes, on the wall above the Bright-Red-Refrigerator … what’s not to love. Wonder if I should display them all year … they sure look happy up there.
