Santa gets hungry traipsing about in the cold!

Glad you liked the photo. I was going for a high-contrast still life, a cross between Vermeer -- the way the paper looks -- and those Spanish Baroque painters of the mundane who favored black negative space.

BTW, tales of your American Girl bravery are rampant in these parts. . .

I know what you mean. Velazquez' Crucifixion is a favorite. I'll admit to a quiet 'Oh, wow,' when I scrolled down and saw this.

American Girl! I really enjoyed that little trip - no bravery involved. :)
