Spirit of Christmas #3--and His Light Shone Over All the Earth (2015)

This is the third in the series of my Christmas pieces, started the Christmas after I retired in 2013.  It shows the Christmas Angel/Star guiding us to the baby Jesus in the (cheese cloth) manger at the bottom right of the composition.  The baby is tucked down in the hay with only the top of His head and face showing out of the swaddling.  The word ‘emanuel’ is running vertical on the right side with the title, ‘and His light shone on all the earth’ running vertically in the left side.  The original piece is 8”x10”, mixed media of acrylic, pastel, ink, cheese cloth, and collage on illustration board.  This is the third in the series of my Christmas pieces, started the Christmas after I retired in 2013.  

 In this time of unrest in the world, may we all remember that God’s light will shine through the darkness and can touch all of our hearts with His love and joy and peace.  May you have a most blessed Christmas, enjoying all the miracles that surround your life and may you have MUCH GOODNESS to look forward to in the coming new year.
