About The Artwork

Sinterklaas (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌsɪntərˈklaːs]) or Sint-Nicolaas (Dutch pronunciation: [sɪnt ˈnikoːlaːs]) is a legendary figure based on Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children. Other Dutch names for the figure include De Sint ("The Saint"), De Goede Sint ("The Good Saint"), and De Goedheiligman ("The Good Holy Man"). Many descendants and cognates of "Sinterklaas" or "Saint Nicholas" in other languages are also used in the Low Countries, nearby regions and former Dutch colonies.[note 1] The feast of Sinterklaas celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas on 6 December. The feast is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on St. Nicholas' Eve (5 December) in the Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day, in Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France (French Flanders, Lorraine and Artois). The tradition is also celebrated in some territories of the former Dutch Empire, including Aruba. Sinterklaas is one of the sources of the popular Christmas icon of Santa Claus. Source: Wikipedia Det. Nunzio: [after Scott got arrested] Look, I know you're Scott Calvin. You know you're Scott Calvin. So let's make this simple: I say, name, you say, Scott Calvin. [gestures Scott to come close] Det. Nunzio: Name? Scott Calvin: Kriss Kringle. Det. Nunzio: Name? Scott Calvin: Sinterklaas. Det. Nunzio: [annoyed] Name! Scott Calvin: Pere Noel. Babbo Natale. Pelz-Nickel. [imitates Ed Sullivan] Scott Calvin: Topo Gigio! Det. Nunzio: Okay, Calvin, maybe a couple of hours in the tank will change your mind. Charlie: Whoa, Dad! You're flying! Scott Calvin: It's okay, I'm used to it. I lived through the ‘60s. Scott Calvin: Did I miss anything? Business Guy Across from Him: No, we were, uh, just about to order lunch. Scott Calvin: Great! I'm starving. Susan Perry: I'll have a salad and iced tea, and dressing on the side. Mr. Whittle: Ah, pasta and tomatoes, uh, and very light on the oil. Can you do that? Scott Calvin: And I'll have a caesar. No dressing. And one of those homemade cookies, the warm chocolate chip. No nuts. And a little slice of cheesecake. Uh, crème brulee, and, um, hot fudge sundae, extra hot fudge. [licks his lips, sees people looking weirdly at him] Scott Calvin: On the side. Waiter: Anything to drink? Scott Calvin: Ice cold milk. Susan Perry: [wondering if he was really honest with them about his suddenly big belly] Stung by a bee, Scott? Scott Calvin: A big bee. [Scott and Charlie in the sleigh pull up next to a delivery driver] Scott Calvin: So, uh, we just go straight down this road and we'll hit I-94? Charlie: [about Neil] I learn a lot from him. He listens to me. Scott Calvin: Yeah, then he charges you for it. Scott Calvin: Where is he? Laura: Well, he could be listening to records jumping up and down on his bed wearing a red hat and galloshes. Scott Calvin: I don't care what Neil's doing. Where's Charlie? Scott Calvin: You know, you look pretty good for your age. Little Elf Judy: Thanks, but I'm seeing someone in wrapping. Dr. Neil Miller: [in a light-hearted psychiatry tone] Scott, what was the last thing you and Charlie did, before you went to bed Christmas Eve? Scott Calvin: [sarcastically] We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liquor, played with my shot guns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women... [honestly] Scott Calvin: I read him a book! Dr. Neil Miller: What book? Scott Calvin: [sarcastically] Uh, "Hollywood Wives." [Laura puts her hand into her face, giving off a resentful gesture] Scott Calvin: [honestly] "The Night Before Christmas", folks, come on! Scott Calvin: Charlie, stay away from those things. They're reindeer, you don't know where they've been. They all look like they've got key lime disease. Scott Calvin: This thing, you never know where it's been. A thousand malls! Well I hope you're happy, Comet. I hope you're happy, but most importantly, I hope the guy that lives here IS A [Tim “the Tool-Man”] TAILOR! Laura: Here's Neil's mother's number. Scott Calvin: 1-800-SPANK-ME? I know that number. Sarah the Little Girl: You're fatter this year. Santa: Thank you. You've grown, too. Now go back to sleep. [Drinks the milk and gags a little, Sarah looks at him] Santa: I think the milk's a little sour. Sarah the Little Girl: It's soy milk. Santa: Huh? Sarah the Little Girl: You said you were lactose intolerant. Santa: I did say that, didn't I? Thank you for remembering. from ‘The Santa Clause’ (1994) Starring Frank Welker (Nibbler), Judge Reinhold (Arrested Development), Wendy Crewson (Bicentennial Man), Young Frankenstein’s Monster (Norm’s Dolittle), Mary Gross (Casual Sex?), David Krumholtz (Life with Mikey [J. Fox]), Eric Lloyd (Dunston Checks In), Judith Scott (Oppurtunity Knocks), and Tim Allen ("Never give up. Never surrender."). Written by Leo Benvenuti ('Everybody get up it's time to slam now. We got a real jam goin’ down. Welcome to the Space Jam') and Steve Rudnick (Ditka’s Kicking & Screaming). Directed by John Pasquin (Home Improvement). The Santa Clause is a 1994 American Christmas comedy-drama film written by Leo Benvenuti and Steve Rudnick, and directed by John Pasquin. The first film in the Santa Clause film series, it stars Tim Allen as Scott Calvin, an ordinary man who accidentally causes Santa Claus (played by Tim Allen's actual stunt double, Steve Lucescu) to fall from his roof on Christmas Eve. When he and his young son, Charlie, finish St. Nick's trip and deliveries, they go to the North Pole where Scott learns that he must become the new Santa and convince those he loves that he is indeed Santa Claus. The film was released on November 11, 1994, and grossed $189 million. It received positive reviews from critics and it has since become a Christmas-time staple among viewers. Its success led to two sequels, The Santa Clause 2 (2002) and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006), which were both financially successful but suffered critical decline. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
