Sinterklaas

enjoydotcom (Oct 8, 2007)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas#Sinterklaas
no reference used.
Shoe
Traditionally, in the weeks between his arrival and the 5th of December, before going to bed, children put their shoes next to the chimney of the coal fired stove or fireplace, with a carrot or some hay in it "for Sinterklaas's horse", sing a Sinterklaas song, and will find some candy in their shoes the next day, supposedly thrown down the chimney by a Zwarte Piet or Sinterklaas himself. However, with the advent of central heating children put their shoes near the boiler or even just next to the front door.

Typical Sinterklaas candy is the first letter of the child's name made out of chocolate, chocolate coins, a figurine of Sinterklaas made out of chocolate and wrapped in painted aluminium foil, and coloured marzipan shaped into fruit, an animal or some other object.

Children are told that Black Pete enters the house through the chimney, which also explains his black face and hands, and would leave a bundle of sticks or a small bag with salt in the shoe instead of candy when the child had been bad.

Children are also told that in the worst case they would be put in the gunny sack in which Black Pete carries the presents, and be taken back to Spain, where Sinterklaas is said to spend the rest of the year. This practice however has been condemned by Sinterklaas in his more recent television appearances as something of the past.

So santa claus is the foundation of commercialism.

davincipoppalag (Oct 10, 2007)

Great entry Joyce.Interesting tradition, too!

enjoydotcom (edited Oct 11, 2007)

Thanks Dave, I'm pretty pleased with the lines and coloring. And the tradition is great too, when you're a kid that is. The sweet anticipation, anxious to find out if there is a little goody or candy in your shoe. I always put my shoe under the central heating, because we didn't have a stove or a fireplace. Added bonus were the warm shoes :D.
And yes DK, Sinterklaas may have been the foundation of commercialism, I prefer to think commercialism took over Sinterklaas, because before stores, people made the gifts themselves. One of the other traditions I like(d) very much is "surpises" (pronounced surpreese - kinda French). Everybody draws a name out of a bowl, the name that is on the paper, is the one you give a gift. You make something that is specific for that person, a train for a train freak etc. And inside that you hide the real gift. Usually done in schools or sportsclubs for children. Lotsafun.
Auw, arms hurt now...

davincipoppalag (Oct 11, 2007)

Sounds fun..over here we just get into total crass commercialism and go into debt buying unneccessary stuff for everyone.

For a sprite picture I feel it's allright. The nose needs to be lowered and try some highlights on the hair and eyes for more contrast. Overall it's good. Just spend more time on your pieces.

Its cute, but if you only knew how much I hate gaia! ooooh god I hate it so.

Sweetcell (Oct 8, 2007)

Yes this is cute, but I don't feel it's Intermediate. As a newcomer it's reccomended to start in begginers before making your way up to the other boards. Welcome.
