SANTA (MY HERO) MAKES APPEARANCES AT ART EXHIBITION BELIEVE IT OR NOT my Covid Hero of the week (December 2020) was my
12” x
sister’s partner who is Santa. Yep, this is my brother! I’m honored to paint this
16”Oil on
portrait for him. Because of the pandemic, opportunities in his seasonal work
linen
as Santa and otherwise as a musician have been curtailed. However, he has
covered
been able to bring joy to children in some altered situations with masks and distance protocols implemented. He serves as Santa at a local mall in Missouri - the children must sit six feet away from his perch on his throne chair, everyone in a mask. Merry Christmas everyone. He is a year-round white bearded joyful soul and I’m blessed to have Santa as a brother. Gary Gordon Goff you’re my hero!
