The print is of decent quality. But it is a lot less vivid than the painting. With this painting being so dark, the print wasn't able to convey the subtle contract between the background and the bottle and barrel. I was kind of disappointed.

Artist's Description
Stopping at the window and checking it twice, Santa enjoys an encounter with himself -- many times over.
In the artwork, An Unforeseen Encounter, the viewer is invited to join Santa on his Christmas Eve rounds, and we stop, along with the jolly old elf, outside a store window display filled with figurines of Santa himself.
Intrigued, St. Nick takes off his glasses for a closer look (does this mean that he is wearing reading glasses? Or are the glasses fogging over in the cold?). Who ARE all these Santas? And does he really look that fat? Red does look good on him . . .
A slight smile plays across Santa’s face as he looks at himself, over and over and over again because, among the many attributes of Father Christmas is that of a sense of humor, and he is intrigued to see so many varieties of himself in one place.

About Steve Henderson
![Steve Henderson Steve Henderson](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artistlogos/2-steve-henderson-1676998047-square.jpg)
I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 13 years have focused exclusively on fine art. I celebrate images that invite the viewer to step into the artwork and experience a sense of joy, peace, freedom, encouragement, meditation, and thought. There's a lot of angry art out there, as well as a lot of shallow pop. I choose to use the abilities and experience I have to promote beauty and goodness.
