Originally, this was the background to an advertising piece I did not so long ago. The final art had Santa, sleigh, and reindeer, streaking across the night sky on Christmas Eve; Which worked out just fine. But I think this piece stands on its own quite nicely. You really don’t need to see Santa to know he’s on his way. The magic is in the anticipation.
Although, I didn’t grow up in a town that looked anything like this, I do remember looking out of my bedroom window on cold snowy nights when I was a kid. It seemed to me that in the quiet of the moment, anything was possible.
