About Art: "We all know about Santa Claus and his annual circumnavigation of the globe," says the artist. "It's quite a feat by any standard. But what is a bit less explored is what Santa does the other 364 days of the year. All year long and right up to Christmas Eve, Santa is a toymaker extraordinaire. He's up to his elbows in a labor of love, turning out magical toys at a pace and of a quality unparalleled in the world. With this portrait, I wanted to depict the master craftsman engaged in his work. Hearing the bell above the door, he looks up to greet his visitor. Perhaps the visitor is us, come to catch a glimpse of the making of magic."
Here at The Greenwich Workshop, the holiday season doesn't begin until we unwrap a box from artist Dean Morrissey to reveal the year's painting of Father Christmas. Over the past ten years we have had the pleasure of publishing Morrissey's portraits of a very real, wise and generous man that just happens to be Santa Claus. In Father Christmas: The Workshop, he's putting in a few hours after dinner, with a couple of industrious elves for companionship and help with the finishing touches. Why not let this picture of a twinkle-eyed craftsman decorate your home for the holidays this year?
