Della Robia Santa
Giclée on canvas · 12" × 12"
Santa peers over a carol book beneath a Della Robbia garland of fruit, citrus, and berries: the classic Colonial Christmas motif rendered in deep reds and evergreen.
These are the portraits that carry a wall on their own. Close-cropped faces, deep reds against warm shadow, and enough scale that they read from the far side of a room. Hang one above the mantel, in an entry, or on a stair landing where people slow down to look.
Because they are painted rather than printed from stock illustration, they sit comfortably with year-round art. Collectors regularly tell Celia their Santa never quite makes it back into the attic box in January.
Every canvas is a signed archival giclée, ready to frame or to hang gallery-wrapped, and shipped insured worldwide.

A gentle, close-up Santa Claus portrait wreathed in pine boughs and scarlet winterberry. Celia Meadors paints the English Santa of old-world Christmas cards: ruddy cheeks, a snow-white beard, and eyes that seem to know exactly what you asked for.
