He Knows

"He Knows" is a warm and inviting mixed-media painting that captures the magic of the holiday season. Created by Kiki Piper using a combination of ripped paper and acrylic paint, this piece is a stunning representation of the jolly old elf himself, Santa Claus.

Santa's face is rendered in exquisite detail, with a warm glow emanating from the lantern he holds. The lantern's light casts a soft, golden glow on his face, giving him a gentle, benevolent expression. The acrylic paint is used to add delicate details to his face, including his piercing blue eyes and details in his beard and hair. Some might say it looks like Paul Hollywood if he dressed up as Santa!

A bag of gifts slung over Santa's shoulder is crafted from layers of ripped paper, and the painting's rich, deep reds, give Santa's coat a luxurious, velvet-like texture. The acrylic paint is used to add subtle shading and depth to the coat, creating a sense of volume and dimensionality. In the background, Piper has added a subtle dusting of snow to Santa's hat and shoulders, giving the impression of a winter wonderland. 

"He Knows" is a beautiful and festive holiday piece that is sure to bring joy and warmth to any room.
