Tompte, A Scandinavian Christmas Elf - JS041

$8.95

In my first painting classes, first Christmas painting, I designed a primitive elf and I named him "Tompte" after the household spirit from Nordic folklore.  He became our business logo and changed many times over the decades.  We have grown much older together (white hair) but are young in spirit and still treasuring painting friends from all over the world.  What a marvelous privilege and joy!  Merry Christmas!

The ornament measures 8 1/4" tall by 5 1/4" wide and is made out of Birch Ply.
