Description

The Santa we see today everywhere in the holiday season is a fairly modern version of St. Nick. His image has been modified over the past few hundred years. In the mid 1800's he was sometimes seen as a salty seaman or vagavaughn. This watercolor painting tries to capture the Santa of the 1800's when he wasn't so round and jolly.
