Last night I completed the first Christmas design for the season. My scanner couldn't handle the width so the edges look a bit cut off here. I wanted to create a sense of Joseph's protection over his wife and new baby as he followed God's orders to flee into Egypt. I wanted Joseph and his family to be surrounded by the protection of God in Heaven. I have the color of the Heavens here reflected on the face of the baby Jesus. It's almost like looking down through a portal onto an event on Earth. Now that this one is done, it is once again time for the "What Comes Next" challenge!
It is incredible. It has so much depth, it's almost 3d. The branches at the bottom make an optical effect too. Haunty beautiful and neat like a snowglobe.
ReplyDeleteI love how they encircle the baby to protect and how the circle around the family continues that. Also the folds in the fabric are wonderful. Beautiful as always! :)
