This arresting 24" x 30" mixed media oil painting on gallery-wrapped canvas is an emotive expression that challenges the traditional narrative of the holiday season.
Through this portrait, I share a darker, more reflective side of a beloved myth. The subject—a majestic goat cloaked in Santa’s iconic red velvet—is captured in a moment of deeply personal peace and contemplation. With a glowing cigar and a glass of whiskey, the piece explores themes of world-weariness, clandestine luxury, and the quiet moments an icon reserves for themselves. The rich textures, moody shadows, and evocative smoke are meticulously rendered in oil, inviting the viewer to contemplate the emotional complexity behind the facade of perpetual cheer.
