“Silent Night” a Submarine Santa Christmas Card

Each year, using watercolor on French paper, I paint a new Submarine Santa for my own special sailor and make it available for others in the community. This design took over 70 working hours to complete. Each of my art pieces is hand painted on 300# cold press paper using traditional watercolor paints to give them a soft, dreamy, old world, illustrated feel. When I painted this piece, I imagined a midnight moonlight arctic scene. A submarine is pushed through the ice, perhaps on an Icex exercise, full of sailors missing home, that’s suddenly discovered by Santa in his sleigh on a silent night. Now updated with customizable text and photos, I hope this piece brings you and yours joy through the season!
