Very special Santa Claus
He is tall, beautifully painted, and could fit in my house all during the year. He would not be sent upstairs with the other decorations waiting till next December.
The painter was able to order the ceramic items and finish the item in her own style. Look at the finish work on Santa. Makes me wonder how much she would have been able to do. (Research work required here.) She, Janell Payne, lived in a small country home in McRae, AR with land, chickens and a special addition to the house for her art work which she was able to practice until her 90's. She taught the craft also. Perhaps someone can tell us more about the craft and the artist.
Help us out, Searcy Sleuths. McRae is just a few short miles from Searcy!
