Santa rounding up his escaped reindeer ... beneath a pine tree straight out of the central California coast.
Padre spent a lot of time painting landscapes up and down California, often with his friend Josh Meador, who resided in Carmel. The tree has the feel of Carmel about it.
Mr. Hulett had a fondness for designing cards around elements he liked. What a surprise.

That tree is a beautiful model for a bonsai. This one makes me think a little of Ty Wong's work, while the last one had touches of Mary Blair, and the one a few days before (the tall trees) was Eyvind Earl-ish.
I can't help but think that Santa would have an easier time keeping the reindeer in gear if he went a bit easier on the whip ...
;)
I know you're joking, but that's not a whip, it's the harness.
Apparently, reindeer are a lot like animators, and require a strong hand to keep them from running amok.
