Santa at the North Pole by Scott Gustafson

The most exhilarating night of the year has arrived and the North Pole buzzes with activity. The reindeer are harnessed, the sleigh is almost loaded and Mrs. Claus brings out a last minute snack for Santa. Perhaps a savory meal is packed in her basket for him to eat later, much later, since tonight children throughout the world await his arrival. Gustafson’s quintessential Santa checks the stars as his lead elf consults the map. It’s almost time to depart!

The creation of this painting was a family affair:  Scott’s in-laws modeled for Santa and Mrs. Claus and his wife’s sister and her children were immortalized as the various elves. If you call your Greenwich Workshop Fine Art dealer to reserve this heartwarming edition we think that you’ll hear the sleigh bells on Christmas Eve!

About Scott Gustafson

Scott Gustafson’s earliest artistic ambition was to become an animator. But by the time he entered high school, he became acquainted with artists from the Golden Age of Illustration. Great illustrators like N.C. Wyeth, Normal Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish and Arthur Rackham opened a door onto a world of beautiful images that continue to inspire him to this day. Lingering dreams of making animated films, however, led Scott to major in animation at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. It wasn’t until after leaving art school that the possibility of a career as a freelance illustrator began to truly appeal to him. Over the nearly twenty-five years that span his career, he has had the opportunity to fulfill commissions for a number of varied clients and publishers such as Celestial Seasonings, Playboy magazine, Saturday Evening Post, The Bradford Exchange, Dreamworks and The Greenwich Workshop. His illustrated books include The Night Before Christmas, Peter Pan, Nutcracker, as well as two original titles, Animal Orchestra and Alphabet Soup. His newest book release, Classic Fairy Tales, was recently awarded a Chesley award for best interior book illustrations from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists.
