A SANTA I PAINTED

 
Click on photo to enlarge. 
I started tole painting when I turned 40. I am self taught and just follow the instructions given for each piece. I could never draw something like this but for some reason I can follow the instructions and paint it. This is one of my favorites. It is on a wooden oval about 13 inches tall.

    Hi Lori,
    Your Santa is truly great, I love all the detailing on his suit and the toys in his sack.

    Wow! So by following the instructions....what do you mean? Is there an outline of the drawing or is it all free hand?
