Moss Landing Santa

This piece was created as a gift for a customer's husband. Her wish was to  celebrate all the things they both love about their home in Moss Landing CA.

On the front panel is a disign with three pelican's flying over and an otter (doing what otters do) Santa is holding an other otter that has a sea star in it's hands.

the panels along side the front has giant kelp floating in the waves.

There is such an abundance of sea life in Moss Landing it was hard to choose from the Orcas, seals, sea lions, and dolphins. I decided and she love the idea of two dolphins leaping from the water in the background and the seal sunning himself on the rock at the bottom. The Santa is completed with a woven basket full of wrapped gifts for her husband.
