Book and Toys

Santa caught mid delight behind an open storybook, spectacles low and eyes wide, with a rag doll, candy canes, and a small bear watching from the toy shelves behind him. The book reads The Family, and you can feel the line he just read out loud.

Painted close and warm, it is the piece that belongs in a reading nook, a nursery, or wherever the Christmas books get stacked every December.
