This was the first of 5 holiday paintings I did from Thanksgiving to New Years this last holiday season. I did this on my iPad Pro 12.9 using Procreate. This came about from a drawing I did a few years ago. I always wanted to paint it but didn't get around to it till this year.
The thought behind it is that Santa, tired of the whole sleigh and reindeer schtick, decided to get some giant hummingbird wings, since they flutter really fast. That and finding a way to put magic dust on the bags of gifts that would follow him through out his night. Once a bag empties it's contents, another is right behind with more gifts to disperse. I've got 4 more holiday paintings that I'll be posting soon. This one also has the distinction of being the one I choose to be my holiday card this last Christmas.
