A huge congratulations to our cover art winner, Hannah Watson of Warkworth, Ont.!If you can believe it, she’s only eight years old. She did get some technical help and advice from Judy Mallory, but Hannah did all the painting. What I love most about this painting of Santa with his arm wrapped around one of his reindeer is how peaceful they seem together— she’s illustrated a magical moment between them, and that’s one thing I love about Christmas—spending precious moments with those you love.
We know our readers love our annual art issue, and so I try to squeeze as many pieces in as possible, from our more amateur artists to our very accomplished artists (a special shout-out goes to Deana Weyman from St. Andrew’s, King City, for sending us incredible artwork year after year!).
We’ve also had some especially unique contributions this time, including a carved nativity set by Al Schut of Comox Valley, B.C., and a Lego creation from my own little guy, Alex.
I want to thank each and every artist, young and old, who sent in your artwork—you continue to impress me. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
